Earlier, Eurostar had advised passengers to postpone their journeys citing “major disruption” caused by the power problem in the tunnel and “a subsequent failed Le Shuttle train”. Eurostar has held a monopoly on passenger services through the tunnel linking Britain and France since it opened in 1994. An electrical fault fault forced the cancellation of Eurostar services and severe delays on others in August.
