Eurostar suspended all train services connecting London with Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels on Monday due to a power supply problem in the Channel Tunnel, the company said.

"A power supply issue occurred in the tunnel, and shortly after, one train came to a standstill inside the tunnel," a Eurostar spokesperson said, according to AFP. "All services to and from London are suspended until further notice."

According to Eurostar's website, trains on the Paris-Brussels route, which does not pass through the Channel Tunnel, were also canceled. It was not immediately clear whether the Paris-Brussels cancellations were related to the Channel Tunnel incident.

Eurostar advised passengers to postpone their travel plans. The disruption caused significant inconvenience for travelers planning trips ahead of the year-end holidays.
