Eurostar Halts All London Services After Channel Tunnel Power Fault and Shuttle Stop

Getlink projects a phased mid‑afternoon restart following cable repairs.

Overview

  • Eurostar suspended all trains between London and Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels until further notice.
  • Getlink said teams are working on cables to fix a power‑supply defect and expects a progressive resumption from about 15:00 French time.
  • The shutdown followed a double incident in the tunnel involving the electrical fault and a halted Le Shuttle vehicle, according to Eurostar.
  • Eurostar urged customers to postpone travel, avoid stations unless already ticketed, and opt for free exchanges, 12‑month e‑vouchers or refunds.
  • Large crowds formed at St Pancras and Paris Gare du Nord, multiple services were canceled including at least two LondonParis round trips, and no trains were stuck in the tunnel.
