Overview
- An overhead power issue in the Channel Tunnel stopped a Le Shuttle train, triggering Eurostar to cancel all London–Paris–Brussels–Amsterdam services.
- Eurostar urged customers not to travel unless already booked and said many passengers were left waiting for hours at St Pancras and Gare du Nord.
- Getlink and Le Shuttle began a gradual resumption, with trains running alternately in each direction while repairs continue.
- Ferry operators on the Dover–Calais route reported capacity for extra passengers seeking alternative crossings.
- Affected travelers can rebook for free, request vouchers, or obtain refunds, with Eurostar warning of heavy delays and short‑notice cancellations during recovery.
