Eurostar delays leave passengers stranded Channel Tunnel train delays cause 'chaos'
(35 minutes later)
Eurostar passengers have been left stranded due to severe delays on Channel Tunnel services. Hundreds of Channel Tunnel rail passengers are stuck at stations after a series of problems caused delays.
The firm said a fatality on the line near Lille on Thursday morning and a broken-down Euroshuttle carriage had "impacted" its service. A Eurotunnel train broke down in the tunnel earlier, then a technical problem closed the tunnel's other line.
Hundreds of passengers have been waiting at stations including Gare du Nord in Paris and St Pancras in London. These problems affected passenger and freight services, and a fatality near Lille further delayed Eurostar passenger trains.
The BBC's Paul Moss, who was waiting for a Eurostar train in Paris, said the scene there was "extraordinary chaos".The BBC's Paul Moss, who was waiting for a Eurostar train in Paris, said the scene there was "extraordinary chaos".

But in a press statement it said its final train of the day from St Pancras - due to leave at 21:00 BST - would "be leaving later than that".
