Eurostar and Le Shuttle services between the UK and France resumed Wednesday morning after a day of major disruptions through the Channel Tunnel. Thousands of passengers experienced extensive delays Tuesday after Eurostar cancelled the majority of its London to Europe services due to an overhead power supply problem and a separate incident involving a failed Le Shuttle train, which blocked all routes.

Repair work was completed overnight, allowing rail services to resume in both directions. Eurostar, however, advised passengers to check for potential knock-on delays and possible last-minute cancellations. According to Eurostar's website, most of Wednesday morning's services in and out of London St Pancras departed as scheduled, with only three services cancelled: one to Paris Gare du Nord, one to Brussels Midi, and one to Amsterdam Centraal.

The disruptions highlight the complexities of maintaining critical infrastructure and the potential for unforeseen events to impact transportation networks. The incident underscores the importance of robust maintenance and contingency planning in ensuring the smooth operation of high-speed rail services.

Eurostar apologized for the inconvenience caused to passengers. "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 cancellation," the company stated.

Passengers are advised to monitor the Eurostar website and social media channels for real-time updates on service status. While services have largely returned to normal, residual delays are possible throughout the day.
