- Getlink, which runs the tunnel, said Le Shuttle auto services would be restored gradually from the afternoon, while Eurostar passenger trains remained canceled.
- Passengers reported being stuck for hours in trains and large crowds formed at London St Pancras and Paris Gare du Nord as departures were scrapped.
- Eurostar offered free rebooking, refunds or vouchers, and the Port of Dover said ferry operators on the Dover–Calais route had capacity for extra passengers.
