"The high-speed rail firm apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers. Eurostar said: "We plan to run all of our services today, however due to knock on impacts there may still be some delays and possible last-minute cancellations. Customers are advised to check for live updates on the status of their train on the Eurostar website.""
"Eurostar said one extra London to Paris service will run on Wednesday and that passengers are entitled to "enhanced compensation" which includes 100% refund of their ticket and 150% of their ticket price as an e-voucher. Le Shuttle services from Folkestone are running normally following earlier delays on Wednesday morning. However, there are still delays of an hour at Calais - although down from the earlier reported six hours."
An overhead power supply problem and a failed Le Shuttle train blocked all Channel Tunnel routes, causing widespread disruption and cancellations of Eurostar services from London. Thousands of passengers faced hours of delay after most London-to-Europe Eurostar services were cancelled. Repair work continued overnight and rail services in both directions resumed Wednesday morning, though some knock-on delays and last-minute cancellations remained possible. Most Wednesday morning Eurostar services departed; three trains were cancelled. Eurostar announced an extra London–Paris service and offered enhanced compensation including a full refund or a 150% e-voucher. Le Shuttle runs from Folkestone returned to normal, with Calais delays reduced to about an hour.
