Overview
- The operator suspended cross‑Channel services to and from London until further notice after an overhead power failure and a failed Le Shuttle train in the tunnel.
- Le Shuttle vehicle services are also suspended, with queues reported at Folkestone of roughly three and a half hours and about two hours at Calais.
- Passengers reported being stuck on trains in the tunnel for hours, with some services turning back to London as platforms filled at St Pancras.
- A Eurostar spokesperson said there is no estimate for when trains will resume, and National Rail issued do‑not‑travel advice due to likely severe delays and last‑minute cancellations.
- Multiple afternoon and evening Eurostar departures were marked cancelled, and affected customers were offered exchanges, refunds or compensation in line with company policy.
