00:00A power supply problem in the Channel Tunnel caused severe Eurostar train delays and cancellations between London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam for most of Tuesday.
00:12Eurostar blamed power supply issues and the Le Châtel train which transports vehicle traffic by rail and broke down in the tunnel.
00:21At Brussels' midi station, passengers were still hoping to make it to London for New Year's celebration.
00:26Well, today was a lot of delays and cancellations, but I'm hoping to get on the train at 6.52.
00:37So, fingers crossed, I will have New Year at home in the UK.
00:43Many were looking for alternative routes.
00:47My plan B, I'm actually taking a train here to Amsterdam, Skiffel to the centre.
00:54I'll enjoy a day here in Amsterdam and then I shall stay till 9 o'clock tomorrow and then fly back to Luton Airport, London.
01:03Train services through the Channel Tunnel started to resume slowly on Tuesday afternoon,
01:08but Eurostar was still advising passengers to book alternative dates.
01:12At Brussels' midi station, two trains previously thought to be cancelled were in fact running.
01:16Each train carrying around 500 passengers was filled to capacity with travellers whose earlier services were cancelled,
01:25but not everyone could check in.

01:31Thank you very much for jumping next year in Amsterdam and now in the UK.
01:35Thank you very much.
01:37Thank you very much, from time to make sure you're looking for all intents andask but not I will mention.
