Channel Tunnel disruption affects Eurostar and vehicle shuttle services between France and England

Power problems and a stuck train interrupted rail services through the undersea Channel Tunnel connecting the U.K. and continental Europe on Tuesday, stranding passengers and ruining vacation plans during the busy end-of-year holiday period. At Paris' Gare du Nord station, Jamie and Issy Gill scrambled to find a flight back to the U.K. after their Eurostar train to London was canceled, desperate to be reunited with their baby boy after enjoying a getaway together in the French capital. “We came for my 30th birthday and we were supposed to go back on the Eurostar, but everything is canceled,” she said.
