The chaos in train services carrying passengers and vehicles between London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam — one of Europe's busiest international rail corridors — hit at the height of the New Year travel season. Eurostar, which runs passenger rail services, said on Wednesday morning that services had resumed following "a power issue in the Channel Tunnel on Tuesday and some further issues with rail infrastructure overnight". "We plan to run all of our services today [Wednesday], however due to knock-on impacts there may still be some delays and possible last-minute cancellations," it said. One train, Eurostar 9152, arrived in the northern French city of Lille from London at 0630 GMT, 11 hours later than its expected arrival time. "The tunnel has recovered its full capacity," said Getlink GETP.PA, which operates the tunnel infrastructure and the Le Shuttle service.
