A power fault has stopped a Eurotunnel train in the Channel Tunnel, causing hundreds of passengers to be evacuated from the train and causing long delays.
The 06:20 BST train from Folkestone, carrying 382 people, stopped about a quarter of the way to France.
The delays could affect the Tour de France, with teams travelling to France after Monday's stage ending in London.
Eurotunnel, which carries passengers in vehicles on board trains between Folkestone and Coquelles, said it expected the problem to be fixed by the end of the day and that services should run normally on Tuesday.
Looks like getting to France will be their biggest challenge yet. From the BBC here:
