Eurostar: Mass Cancellation of Trains Due to Fault in Channel Tunnel

All Eurostar trains were cancelled on Tuesday due to a 'major disruption' in the Channel Tunnel, caused by a fault in the overhead power supply and damage to a Le Shuttle train inside the tunnel. Passengers at London St Pancras International station were informed of the cancellations and guided to rebook their journeys. The situation was described as calm but anxious, with many travellers trying to secure seats for future dates. The fault is considered serious and there is no immediate forecast for its repair.
