Snow Breaks Eurostar Trains
Eurostar train break downs, caused by the unusually severe winter weather, have resulted in tens of thousands of travelers stranded or delayed. Six train break downs have resulted in 55,000 travellers having their journeys disrupted.
Eurostar have reported that the problems have been caused by snow getting into the electrical systems, caused by the abnormally acute weather conditions in norther France. Eurostar think that they have now identified the cause of the problems and will be testing trains with modifications designed to prevent further issues.
As many as 2000 passengers have been trapped on broken down trains in the Channel tunnel. Some are reported to have spent as much as 16 hours confined in their trains below the English Channel. Many of the trapped passengers reported receiving no information and no food or water during their incarceration. Some people even abandoned their trains and walked through the dark tunnel which extends for 24 miles under the sea.
Many passengers have expressed dismay at the way in which Eurostar have managed the issues and failed to communicate with travellers. Some passengers are reported to have suffered from panic attacks and other from the effects of claustrophobia. Passengers have reported that there was no food, water and most importantly no up to date information from the train operator.
On Saturday as many as 31,000 ticket holders were forced to change their travel plans and on Sunday all services were cancelled resulting in a further 27,000 people being stranded.
Freezing weather conditions have continued to disrupt travel in all parts of the British Isles with flight cancellations from many airports. As weather forecasters warn of further heavy snow in many parts of the UK further travel disruption is expected as Christmas approaches. Police authorities in Scotland have advised people to stay at home unless their journeys are absolutely essential.
