00:01Train services through the Channel Tunnel, linking Britain and continental Europe,
00:05partially reopened on Tuesday after a power supply failure brought chaos to holiday travel.
00:11The disruption upended plans for thousands of passengers in London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam
00:16during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.
00:20In a statement on its website, high-speed train operator Eurostar said that the services were resuming gradually,
00:26but warned passengers that the power fault persisted.
00:29Stranded travelers crowded the concourse at London's St. Pancras Station before the partial reopening.
00:36We'll see. It's not so good, but at the end of the day, we're still in the holidays,
00:42so family's still healthy, so we'll take it step by step.
00:46Meanwhile, Getlink, which operates the tunnel infrastructure in the Le Shuttle service carrying cars and trucks,
00:52said repairs to the power supply were underway,
00:55and that travel services were slowly being restored in both directions.
00:59Therefore, ...
01:03this is run as soon as possible.
