Eurostar on Tuesday suspended its cross-Channel train services to and from London following a power supply problem in the tunnel that links Britain<\/a> and France<\/a>, a company spokesperson said, disrupting peak winter holiday rail travel.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson did not know when services would resume and declined to say how many passengers were affected. On its website, the high-speed train operator warned passengers to expect severe delays.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cDue 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,\u201d Eurostar said.<\/p>\n

The disruption affects one of Europe\u2019s busiest international rail corridors at the height of the New Year travel season.<\/p>\n

Eurostar trains out of London serve Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Disneyland Paris among other destinations, including the Alps during the ski season.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment by Getlink, which operates the tunnel infrastructure and the Le Shuttle train service, which carries cars and trucks through the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Eurostar carried 19.5 million customers in 2024, its most successful year to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
