Sounds like someone left behind an Ambush spawn. Either that, or it's a bug. Check again, and if they are still there, /bug it.

Could it have been another players Ambush? They may have left it just roaming around, then when said player left the zone,the ambush just stayed there?|

If not, then maybe bug it. Cause thats not the normal level range for that zone.

On a side note, there are 2 ways to go through to that Tunnel. If I couldn't get through one exit, I would have tried checking the other.
Edit to add my illustrations:
Entrance from the North side
Entrance from the South side
I'm... sort of doubtful that it would be an ambush.
Off the top of my head, no higher-level mission involving Arachnos sends a player to Faultline.
In order for the critters to have been an ambush, somebody at level 35 would have needed to have had a mission in the tunnnels that triggered the ambush, or would have needed to have trained the Arachnos down there from a mission elsewhere in Faultline that spawned an ambush.
Looking in Ouroborus, not one of the 30-39 arcs involve Arachnos. (Defender of Truth and Vindicator)
My first thought would be: something is bugged.

Regardless, I'll check the tunnel out again tonight and see if they're still there.

Radio missions will spawn ambushes, but how a level 35 ambush got to Faultline is the hard part.
Maybe accept a lvl 35 radio mission, then head to Faultline via SG beacon to team up with a lower level team but ambush is already spawned at level 35?

Or take an arachnos mission from radio, join lowbie team, mission port, timing works out... ??? ... profit!

All three times it dropped me off atop Penelope's store on the opposite side of the zone from the tunnel.
Theoretically... Yes, I can see somebody level 35 finishing up a mission, using the SG teleporter vet reward, then taking a SG teleporter to fautlline.
However, an ambush in that situation should have spawned around Penelope's store. In order for them to get from Penelope's place to the tunnel entrance and stay there, the player would have to be using no travel power, and would have had to have waited in the tunnel for a bit, giving the arachnos time to catch up.
So yes, this actually could be a possible answer as to why level 35 arachnos were in the tunnels.

Possibility : Mission with ambush accepted, then team invite accepted to a mission in the tunnels, and the player mission-ports to the mission, thus going directly to the door, no stoping by Penelope Yin, no going shopping for blockbuster bombs.

I mean to say a radio mission in Bricks might generate an Arachnos ambush, but due to good timing you noticed a mission in Faultline from 15 levels ago and ported to it to crush it for the lulz. If the timing is right, the radio mission's ambush would spawn in Faultline to get you. I think. I have NO idea how to test that, because not all radio missions spawn ambushes.

Could it also be somone auto completing a mission while down in the tunnels?
It could be . . .
Also for the OP:
Agent G should have given you an "Arachnos Disguise" temporary power during the "infiltrate an arachnos base and get the codes" mission, just prior to the ones that send you into the tunnels.
It's got 1/2 hour real-time-based timer on it. If you run the missions back-to-back, it's very easy to hit all of the tunnel missions within the time limit of the temp power.
The temp power gives you either a Night Widow or a Huntsman disguise and counts as full 'don't attack me' status, making it easy to run through the tunnels.

. Got a lot of questions in WW when wearing that back when Faultline got revamped.
