Extreme flooding in tunnel used by Eurostar halts trains
I think a lot of people that are stranded are worried where they’re going to sleep tonight that’s that’s what our the the deal is with us we don’t really care we stay another night in London to put our cuz it’s booked up for the holiday for the New Year we’re
Undecided at the moment um it’s getting more and more expensive uh every minute that passes so we’re trying anything from buses trains other countries and going around a different route so it’s it’s quite frustrating but yeah hopefully we make it to our destination
Video shows water pouring into a tunnel used by Eurostar trains near Ebbsfleet International station in Kent, southern England.
In the video, published by Southeastern railway, the tunnel under the Thames appears to be flooded, disrupting Eurostar services and Southeastern trains that run on the route, the operator said.
Eurostar, which runs services from London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, apologised to customers for the impact on their travel plans.

Oh Dear. The Guardian has done it again. Deleted a video only to repost it minus the original comments. Why do you guys do that?
Oh no! Not extreme flooding.
Scary
Trapped in a tunnel with all that water above coming in would be my worse nitemare
So, let’s build a tunnel without flood extraction pumps. Brilliant idea.
Tunnel in Gaza and tunnel in uk!
Be dinghy riders up it in no time
how did the water get in the tunnel? they don't mention that
Clearly Trump's fault.
Last travel service going through was the dingy express full to capacity from France welfare Britain
So the tunnel is flooded… So Eurostar quickly hired a fleet of coaches to run passengers to Dover where they could embark on shuttle trains from the vehicle terminal…. Or not, if they did not have anyone bright enough to think of that.
Boat trains still exist
"Eurostar. We put the 'rains' in 'trains'!
I thought Eurostar was supposed to go under the channel not through it !…makes a change for leaves being on the lines !!
Hahaha!!!
Still no mention about the migrabt riots in london, which are happening now, hey, guardian. Doesn't it fit your false narratives or something? Shame on you
Another example of Britain doing things on the cheap while ceos and shareholders reep the rewards common sense dictates that they would have installed storm drains fir this kind of thing. …. Oh but it was the wrong kind if water what an f ing joke britain is
Hamas tunnels?
