Eurostar passengers travelling from London St Pancras to Amsterdam via Brussels found themselves stranded at Folkestone for nearly eight hours due to a power line problem. The incident occurred when an electrical cable snapped and fell onto the train carriage, leaving passengers in darkness without electricity, food, water, or working toilets.
The ordeal began when the 8:16 am train, which was en route to Brussels, came to a sudden stop as it was about to enter the Channel Tunnel. Passengers reported hearing sparks and loud bangs before the train ground to a halt. As a result, toilets on the train became flooded with urine, faeces, and cigarettes, creating an increasingly dire situation for passengers.
