It’s reported a train was also stuck inside the Tunnel and passengers had to be evacuated.

Operator Eurotunnel apologised for the delays and confirmed they were down to a “technical fault with the overhead power supply”.

Many people caught up in the horror start to the half-term holidays said Eurotunnel had been “chaotic and disorganised” in handling the problem.
