Hundreds of Eurostar passengers stuck for hours in 40C after power failure

Eurostar said they do not give out passenger numbers but one passenger estimated there were 700 people, close to the train's full capacity, waiting in the tunnel.

Four other services were cancelled as a result of the power failure and a Dortmund-Paris service was also stuck, Eurostar said.Stuck in Eurostar somewhere close to Tubize. Train broke down. No elecricity, no airco anymore. Temperature rising. Conclusion: avoid Eurostar when its very hot. . I should have known better.Eurostar said in a statement on its website:"We apologise for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience.

"We are working to resolve this as soon as possible, and another train has been sent from Brussels to collect travellers on board. And next door in Belgium, whilst not all heat related, things aren't going too well either. And a broken down Eurostar on the High Speed Line between Brussels and Lille. Passengers have been evacuated after being stranded onboard for two hours.

10 people died digging the Channel Tunnel and some 4th rate comedian whines about being stuck with no air con for a while? The thousands of people involved in building it didn't have Aircon either. I was one of them.

Sorry to hear hope they are ok . Where they trying to get back before brexit?

Sod that. I would never risk a train in this heat, I’d rather lose the ticket money!!
