Eurostar passengers are facing travel chaos with the rail giant warning of severe delays and “last-minute cancellations” to services. Passengers have been advised not to travel due to a problem with the line’s overhead power supply. Eurostar posted on its website: “Due to a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel and a subsequent failed Le Shuttle train, we strongly advise all our passengers to postpone their journey to a different date.

“Please don’t come to the station unless you already have a ticket to travel. We regret that trains that can run are subject to severe delays and last-minute cancellations. Please check for live updates on the status of your train on the Train status and timetables page.”
