Passengers traveling on Eurostar are facing significant delays due to a power outage, leading to some being stuck in the Channel Tunnel for hours. The disruption has prompted Eurostar to advise passengers to reschedule their journeys, especially affecting services to and from Folkestone and St Pancras International.
One passenger shared her frustration after her Eurostar trip to Brussels for New Year’s Eve was canceled. The 33-year-old, separated from her partner in Germany, expressed disappointment over missing the holiday plans.
Eurostar has begun to resume services as the Channel Tunnel partially reopens, but ongoing overhead power supply issues continue to cause delays and cancellations. Passengers are warned not to travel unless necessary, with potential for severe delays and last-minute changes.
Affected passengers have been offered ferry tickets as an alternative way to reach their destinations. Despite the challenges, Eurostar is providing options for compensation and itinerary changes to assist impacted travelers.
