Eurostar and Le Shuttle services between the UK and France have resumed through the Channel Tunnel after major travel disruption on Tuesday.

Thousands of passengers faced hours of delays after Eurostar cancelled most of its London to Europe services due to an overhead power supply problem and a failed Le Shuttle train which blocked all routes.

Repair work took place overnight, and rail services through the tunnel in both directions resumed on Wednesday morning.

However, Eurostar urged passengers to check before travelling as it warned of possible knock-on delays and last-minute cancellations.

Most of Eurostar's services in and out of London St Pancras have departed, with only three cancellations reported on Wednesday morning. The high-speed rail firm apologized for any inconvenience caused to passengers.

Eurostar announced that they plan to run all of their services that day, but warned of potential delays due to the previous disruptions.

Travelers can get an enhanced compensation, including a 100% refund of their ticket and an additional 150% of the ticket price as an e-voucher.

Le Shuttle services from Folkestone are operating normally now, although delays are still being reported at Calais.

Getlink, which operates the Channel Tunnel, confirmed that maintenance was carried out overnight to address the power issue that led to travel chaos.

The outage caused widespread delays during a busy travel time as many were attempting to reach destinations for New Year's Eve. Passengers shared images of crowded terminals and stuck vehicles on social media, revealing the extent of the disruption.

Some passengers resorted to alternative travel methods, including purchasing bicycles or taking ferries to reach their destinations.
