CHANNEL TUNNEL SERVICES SUSPENDED FOR 3RD DAY

Eurostar trains that have been modified overnight will be tested today as Channel Tunnel services are suspended for a third day. Tens of thousands of passengers have had journeys cancelled after train breakdowns in what the company said were unprecedented winter conditions. Eurostar has altered trains to try to stop water getting into the electrics. The company hopes to announce on Monday evening when services will resume but has warned it will take time to clear the backlog of stranded passengers.
