Eurostar's 'Apocalyptic' Blackout Shuts Down Channel Tunnel, Stranding Thousands

A catastrophic power failure in the Channel Tunnel has forced Eurostar to cancel trains, leaving holiday passengers stranded with indefinite delays. The blackout, caused by an overnight power supply issue, has disrupted cross-channel travel, affecting services between the UK, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Passengers faced a nightmarish situation with little information, dwindling supplies, and no assistance. Eurostar and Eurotunnel have issued apologies and offered free rebooking or refunds.

The situation is expected to cause major disruptions until further notice, impacting both business and leisure travelers.
