Eurostar has encountered yet more problems with cancellations due to problems with trains breaking down in the bad weather today.

 Services were halted today (7th January) after a train broke down in the tunnel this morning, echoing the series of failures last month that left over 40,000 passengers stranded. The 8:05am train from Brussels to London lost traction in the tunnel after encountering heavy snowfall in Northern France; it had to be towed by a rescue locomotive. Subsequent services were cancelled by Eurostar causing yet more chaos for affected passengers.

 Eurostar are warning of ‘restricted services’ up to and including Sunday 10th January, and have issued the same advice as that of the December incidents, which is to only travel if necessary, and to try to postpone your trip to a later date if possible.
