More than 2,000 passengers spent a chilly and hungry night stranded in the Channel Tunnel linking France and Britain after cold weather caused five trains to break down. The trains failed as they moved from the freezing air in northern France into the warmer temperatures of the tunnel on Friday evening, operator Eurostar said. All Eurostar services were suspended until Sunday, causing pre-holiday chaos on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.Duration: 01:28

  • It's typical in this country that everything halts when snow and ice arrives. I've always gone on the channel tunnel in the spring, summer and autumn months because travel gets disrupted in winter.

  • I wonder how the suddern temp change cause them to fail? Least the Australian Government knows now not to touch that shit haha even though I quiet fancy those ICE 3's and TGVs and AGVs all well hopefully once the government reconsiders a East coast High speed link then I hope we get the Skincansen 500 series... I think I Spelt that wrong?

  • In front of Americans, the Japanese will be laughing at the French/British. Considering they are all trying to win the U.S. high speed rail contracts.

  • Eurostar was a bad idea from the word 'go' - and by the looks of it, it ain't getting better.

    Temps drop and suddenly nothing works.

    Quite similar to the govts of the countries, linked to this piece of crap.

  • When they say Channel Tunnel do they mean the Chunnel, or is this a different system?

  • Darn that global warming.

  • Sounds more like they were hijacked. Could this be why Obama has decided to go ahead and take innitiative to form a cyber security?
