Issues with the overhead wires powering international rail services between the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, coupled with a broken down LeShuttle service, brought the network to a standstill on Tuesday.
Eurostar has said it is hopeful of running all scheduled services on new year's eve. However, the first departure of the day (6.01am) from London St Pancras International station on Wednesday (31 December) was cancelled. Subsequent services have departed or are scheduled to depart.
