Staff at London St Pancras International station have told Eurostar passengers to postpone their travel plans and re-book for a later date.

By midday, at least a dozen Eurostar services between the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands had been cancelled – many more had also been delayed or altered.

Train traffic will "gradually resume" this afternoon, according to the company which operates the Channel Tunnel.

Elsewhere, Eurotunnel service Le Shuttle - which carries road vehicles and passengers through the tunnel - has also suspended trains between Folkestone and Calais due to what it described as a "power supply issue" which occurred overnight.
