Eurostar chaos continues as cable fault delays thousands of passengers Eurostar passengers continued to endure delays today, after an evening of chaos caused by overhead wire problems in France. Four trains have been cancelled this morning and delays of up to an hour are being reported. Today's cancellations were all early-morning services, taking in one London-Paris train, one London to Brussels, one Brussels to London and one Paris-London. Last night, thousands of Eurostar customers were held in trains for up to nine hours as the cross-Channel service suffered power faults between Lille and Paris, followed by emergency repair works. Many trains were brought to a complete standstill, while others were diverted to non high-speed lines. Last night's delays also had a major impact on those travelling to attend Paris Fashion Week, with models and fashion designers taking to Twitter to vent their frustrations. Model Poppy Delevigne told her 10,000 followers she was "deliriously tired" after an eight-hour journey. She tweeted: "Blew a kiss to the receptionist at my hotel as he gave me my key. Snore. #8houreurostar. Designer Henry Holland tweeted: "Eurostar DISASTER." The model Laura Bailey was slightly more optimistic about proceedings, however, tweeting: "Less conspiracy theories. More wine and cheese... and Paris before breakfast please. #eurostar.
