Both Eurostar passenger trains and Eurotunnel services, transporting cars and trucks through the tunnel, were suspended from around 1300 GMT to 1730 GMT, a Eurostar spokeswoman said. Work finished around 1830 (1730 GMT) and services are now resuming," a Eurotunnel spokeswoman added. The stoppage forced the cancellation of five Paris to London services, four in the opposite direction and eight more travelling between London and Brussels. After the service resumed, a Eurostar spokeswoman said operations were "gradually returning to normal."
