Eurostar Passengers Stranded in London

Eurostar passengers are stranded at St Pancras station, after four trains became trapped in the Channel Tunnel on Friday night.

The poor weather in France also created problems for boats intending to sail across the Channel from England.

The Port of Dover, a major exit point to France, was operating restricted services Saturday because of weather problems in Calais, France, according to the port's Web site.

"The French authorities prohibited traffic from leaving the Port of Calais owing to the treacherous road conditions, which curtailed all services to Calais," the port said. "Tourist traffic is now being permitted to use the port and ships are sailing to Calais."

It was not immediately clear whether freight traffic had resumed between Dover and Calais.

Die gleichen Bilder wie 2010... Ich frage mich echt warum Eurostar die Technik nicht in den Griff bekommt! Da ist die Bahn um einiges zuverlässiger, auf Zugausfälle vorbereitet und vor allem Kundenfreundlicher! So seltsam es klingt aber es ist leider so...
