Passenger describes being stranded on Eurostar train overnight - as disruption continues
Passengers have been stuck on a Eurostar train for hours overnight, after the train network was forced to cancel large parts of its London-Europe service on Tuesday.
Francis Collings said his Eurostar service from St Pancras to Paris "ground to a halt" somewhere outside Folkestone around 9.15pm, with power being turned off around 11pm. "About four hours ago, maybe about 11pm at night, the power was turned off.
So we have lighting, but it's low lighting, but this seems to have affected the toilets, which don't seem to want to flush," he said. Six hours after the train stopped, "we're still here, not entirely sure what's going to happen because there's a fault somewhere, we believe, in the tunnel, but we've also been told it's with the train and there was a fault with a carriage and there's talk of locomotives pulling other trains that are further up the line out of the way".
Train staff were "very attentive.
