The Channel Tunnel link between Britain and mainland Europe was suspended on December 19, 2009 due to three broken-down trains blocking both lines, with passengers being evacuated, operators Eurotunnel told AFP. "Currently the tunnels are closed," a spokesman said, calling the situation "unprecedented". The breakdowns were being blamed on the cold weather snap affecting the region.
