The operator of Eurostar trains has resumed limited service Tuesday after three full days of disruption which left thousands of passengers stranded on both sides of the English Channel.
Eurostar posted a message on its web site Tuesday morning that limited services would run from 7:30 am to 6 pm GMT. Only those passengers who originally had reserved seats for Saturday or Sunday are eligible for travel on Tuesday. Those with tickets for Monday and Tuesday will be able to travel on Wednesday.
Last Friday some 2 000 passengers got stranded in the Channel Tunnel as a result of breakdowns. Some 90 000 passengers have been affected by the failures. They are reported to have been caused by a “dry” snow that got into the engines of the trains.
