| Some 740 passengers are stuck on a Eurostar train in Kent after it experienced "technical problems". | |
| Eurostar said the Paris to London train was stuck near Ashford but a rescue train would take passengers to London. | |
| The train was due to leave Gare du Nord at 2113 GMT and arrive in St Pancras at 2229 GMT but was delayed after an unattended bag caused a security alert. | The train was due to leave Gare du Nord at 2113 GMT and arrive in St Pancras at 2229 GMT but was delayed after an unattended bag caused a security alert. |
| Passenger Alistair Neale said lights in the carriages had failed but the rescue train had arrived at the scene. | |
| Eurostar would not confirm whether the lights had failed or reports that the cab had become detached from the train. | |
| Richard Startari, who was on the train, said: "Just 10 minutes from Ashford, the Eurostar kind of stopped, at which point we then lost all power. | |
| "A lot of the Eurostar staff are going up and down with water, but they don't seem to have torches, which is a bit concerning. They're using their iPhones." | |
