Eurotunnel passengers in Kent have been facing long delays this afternoon because of a power failure.

Delays of up to one-and-a-half hours at Folkestone were caused by the power supply problem in the Channel Tunnel.

It happened at about 2.30pm and left only one line running through the tunnel - and a train reportedly stuck inside.

Some Eurostar trains have also suffered delays this afternoon.

Longer waiting times were expected for the rest of the day while the problem is fixed.
