More than 250 passengers travelling on a service from Faversham to St Pancras in central London are reported to have been stuck in a tunnel for just under four hours this morning after multiple train breakdowns. The reports say the original Eurostar service experiences a fault while in the tunnel, leaving passengers unable to move for several hours. A second train connected to the situation is also described as breaking down, which contributes to the delay and limits the ability to resolve the disruption promptly. Passengers remain in the tunnel throughout the period until the service can be restored. The accounts provided do not specify the exact cause of the faults, the precise location of the tunnel, or whether passengers were fully evacuated or provided with assistance during the delay. The incident highlights operational disruption on the route, affecting a large number of passengers and extending the wait time until normal service resumes.
