Eurostar Cancels All Services Amid Tunnel Disruption, Causing Travel Chaos

December 30, 2025

Eurostar advised passengers against traveling to stations like Brussels-Midi, Gare du Nord in Paris, and St Pancras in London.

Reports from British media indicated traffic jams near the tunnel terminal in Folkestone, England, and crowded stations with stranded passengers in London and Paris.

Eurostar refuted reports regarding train passengers stranded in the tunnel. “It is a broken shuttle (LeShuttle) that has now been moved out of the tunnel,” a spokesperson told POLITICO.

The Channel Tunnel connects Great Britain with mainland Europe. Typically, the journey from London St Pancras to Brussels-Midi takes around two hours.

    So, Eurostar’s new travel strategy is “stay put and enjoy the ambiance” – who knew we were booking a holiday at crowded train stations instead of getting anywhere? 🤦‍♂️ Just what I needed, a front-row seat to the chaos! 🥳
