Eurostar is telling travellers to postpone their
journeys due to a problem with the overhead power supply.

The following statement has just been posted on its website:

Due to a problem with the overhead power supply in the
Channel Tunnel and a subsequent failed Le Shuttle train, we strongly advise all
our passengers to postpone their journey to a different date.

Please don’t come to the station unless you already have
a ticket to travel. We regret that trains that can run are subject to severe
delays and last-minute cancellations.

Please check for live updates on the status of your train
on the Train status and timetables page.

We’ll bring you more on this shortly. Stay with us.
