Eurostar has urged passengers to stay away as it apologised for the disruption that saw London to Europe services cancelled on Tuesday.

Thousands of passengers, hoping to travel for a New Year getaway, were hit by hours of delays after all its London to Europe trains were cancelled when an overhead power supply problem and a failed LeShuttle train blocked all routes.
