Eurotunnel passengers are facing delays today at the Folkestone terminal due to a combination of a train getting stuck and a power issue.

The double whammy means journey times from the Folkestone terminal have been delayed for up to an hour and that new bookings for today's crossings were temporarily suspended as the service caught up.

The train stuck in the tunnel has been moved and Eurostar has tweeted that trains affected by the power issue will be on the move shortly.
