Eurostar Halts All Cross-Channel Trains After Channel Tunnel Power Fault

An overhead electrical failure in the tunnel has stopped services with no timeframe for resumption.

Overview

  • The operator suspended trains linking London with Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels until further notice.
  • Eurostar attributed the disruption to a failure of the tunnel’s overhead power supply and a related Le Shuttle train fault.
  • Passengers were urged not to travel unless already holding tickets and to postpone journeys to a later date.
  • The company warned of severe delays and last-minute cancellations on any trains still in service.
  • Hundreds of people were reported waiting at London St Pancras, and customers were directed to check real-time updates on the “Train status and timetables” page.
