Eurostar train breaks down again

Eurostar train breaks down again
London: Eurostar says a train traveling from Brussels to London broke down in the Channel Tunnel because of a technical fault.

A company spokeswoman says the train is being towed to a station in Britain. She says it is not immediately clear what caused Thursday's technical fault.

Late last month, the high-speed rail link between Britain and the continent came to a standstill because of train breakdowns that left thousands of passengers stranded in the tunnel beneath the English Channel. The company identified the problem as unusually dry, powdery snow that got into the engines.

Britain and northern Europe have been experiencing a cold snap that has brought heavy snow to many areas.
