Almost 2000 passengers were left stranded in the Channel Tunnel on Friday while traveling on Eurostar trains. The passengers waited for hours in the tunnel before being evacuated.

Passengers who booked tickets for the weekend and 21 December (or until the service re-opens) can get refunds from Eurostar.

Engineers traced the problems back to severe weather conditions. Apparently the trains were sucking in snow and minor modifications would be needed to prevent this from happening in future.
