Eurostar has issued a warning regarding ongoing delays affecting its services through the Channel Tunnel. The delays are linked to power issues within the tunnel infrastructure, which have persisted despite the resumption of train operations. Passengers faced significant disruptions, with many being stranded and seeking alternative routes for their travel plans around the New Year period. The power failure has impacted the tunnel’s signaling and electrical systems, leading to intermittent service suspensions and delays. Eurostar authorities are working to resolve the problems and have indicated that full service restoration may take additional time, depending on the progress of repairs and infrastructure assessments. Travelers are advised to check real-time updates and consider alternative transportation options if possible, to avoid further inconvenience during this period. The incident underscores ongoing challenges related to the maintenance and reliability of critical transport infrastructure connecting the UK and mainland Europe. Overall, the situation remains fluid as efforts continue to stabilize service levels and reduce delays for future travel.
