LONDON — The only passenger-rail link between Britain and the rest of Europe has been shut down indefinitely, Eurostar said Sunday, promising more travel misery for thousands of stranded passengers just before Christmas.
Services have been suspended since late Friday, when a series of glitches stranded five trains inside the Channel Tunnel and trapped more than 2,000 passengers for hours.
Eurostar said Sunday it had traced the problem to “acute weather conditions in northern France,” which led to snow being sucked into the train engines in a way “that has never happened before.”
