Eurostar trains break down due to unprecedneted cold.

Ironic on a day when governments pledge to limit climate change to an increase of 2 degrees, comes this. Maybe we need more CO2 in the air.

4 Eurostar trains break down, hundreds stranded



Four Eurostar trains with hundreds of people on board have broken down in the Channel Tunnel between Britain and France.

The trains were on their way from Paris to London when they suffered serious technical failures and rescue locomotives are being sent down the tunnel to get the passengers out.

A Eurostar spokesman says the breakdowns happened when the trains entered the tunnel where temperatures were higher compared to the sub-zero conditions in northern France.

"Currently the tunnels are closed," the spokesman said, calling the situation "unprecedented".
