In Europe, 'Eurostar' Chunnel Train Service Breaks Down
They're going to have a bad travel week in western Europe as well. Service on the highly praised Eurostar train under the English Channel has been suspended after a series of breakdowns that left several thousand passengers stranded in darkness under the channel for up to 16 hours.

Here's a report in the Guardian newspaper.
