Eurostar Halts All London Routes After Channel Tunnel Power Fault

Getlink forecasts a gradual restart from 3 p.m., with Eurostar urging customers to postpone travel.

Overview

  • All trains between London and Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels are suspended until further notice, according to Eurostar.
  • The disruption stems from an electrical supply problem in the Channel Tunnel coupled with a technical failure on a Le Shuttle train.
  • Getlink, the tunnel operator, says traffic should resume progressively from about 3 p.m.
  • Eurostar advises customers to avoid stations unless holding a ticket for today and to follow live service updates.
  • Affected passengers can rebook for free, request a 12‑month electronic voucher, or seek a refund, which Eurostar says will be processed within 28 days.
