Channel Tunnel Chaos Enters Day Two as Power Fault Drags On

The disruption, caused by a fault in the system's overhead power supply, on Tuesday upended plans for thousands of passengers in London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Rail passengers travelling between the UK and mainland Europe are enduring a second day of major disruption after a power failure shut down the Channel Tunnel, halting both Eurostar and LeShuttle services. The fault, linked to the overhead power supply, brought traffic to a standstill and left thousands of travellers stranded on both sides of the Channel. Although some services have begun to move again, operators warn that delays and cancellations will continue while engineers work to stabilise the system. Eurostar has urged passengers to avoid travelling unless essential, as many trains remain suspended or heavily delayed. LeShuttle customers are also facing long queues, with significant backlogs reported at both Folkestone and Calais. The timing has added to the frustration, hitting one of the busiest travel per...

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

These may be serious times but you don’t have to greet each and every day with a frown on your face. The message of your birthday chart is that you will enjoy life more, and accomplish more too, if you maintain a positive outlook.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Your eyes have been opened to new possibilities and now you must take advantage of them. Early in the new year you will find yourself being nudged in a direction that friends and family members may find strange – but it will work for you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

There is no need to feel guilty about what you said or did in the past. What’s done is done and cannot be undone but you can make tomorrow a lot better than yesterday. Make that your ambition for the year that is about to begin.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Take time out of your busy schedule today to remind someone just how much they mean to you. Work-related matters and planning for the new year may be at the forefront of your thinking but don’t overlook the love of your life.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You seem to be making a lot of unnecessary work for yourself and you need to stop now before it gets out of hand. Anyone who asks you to take on extra responsibilities today must be told it isn’t going to happen. Say it and mean it.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may be on good form at the moment but today’s link between Mercury and Uranus warns there are going to be a few surprises before the new year gets underway. Keep your plans flexible and be ready to change direction at a moment’s notice.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may not be emotional by nature but looking back there are things you wish you had not said or done. On balance you have more to be proud of than to regret, so get your head together and start 2026 with a smile on your face.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Travel and social activities are well starred now, which is excellent news for the party season. But you must plan ahead before setting out to have fun. Unexpected delays and detours are inevitable, so give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

If you have not yet sorted out your money situation then what happens today will force your hand. It won’t be too hard to make savings but it will be harder to say “no” to friends and family members who want you to fund their plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Mercury in your sign makes an abrasive link to Uranus in the work and wellbeing area of your chart today, so don’t be surprised if some of the people you meet along the way seem less than friendly. It’s probably just a touch of end-of-year blues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you find yourself in a situation where you feel out of your depth today you must reach out for assistance. Others will gladly come to your aid but only if you make it clear that their help will be appreciated. They won’t invade your privacy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The planets warn if you try to force your opinions on other people today they won’t accept them but they will hold a grudge. That’s really not the way you want to move into a brand new year, so try not to be quite so pushy.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you want something enough today you will find a way to get it but in doing so you could upset someone who thinks it won’t be good for you. They may be right and they may be wrong, but ask yourself: Why are they so worried?
