Eurostar advised passengers on Tuesday to postpone their journeys after reports of a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel.
“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,” a statement on the company’s website said.
“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.”
The group representing train companies in the UK, National Rail, also warned passengers to change their travel plans and move their bookings to a different date.
“There is a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel,” the company said in a statement.
National Rail warned the power supply problem is expected to cause severe delays between London St. Pancras and Paris Nord.
