Eurostar passengers advised to postpone travel after power issues in Channel Tunnel
- On Tuesday, Eurostar urged passengers to postpone journeys after a Channel Tunnel disruption, telling travellers not to travel and warning of severe delays on trains booked for departure soon.
- A fault with the tunnel's overhead power supply triggered the disruption, and a failed Le Shuttle train compounded the outage, operators said on Tuesday.
- Several scheduled services were cancelled or disrupted, including the 14.31, 15.31 and 20.01 London–Paris services, Eurostar said.
- Passengers were advised not to go to stations unless they already hold tickets, and Le Shuttle warned of delays up to 3.5 hours on the UK side, disrupting vehicle movements.
- Amid peak New Year's Eve travel, the Channel Tunnel link from Folkestone to Calais and Le Shuttle vehicle services face widespread disruption, urging travellers to check before they travel.
