Eurostar train evacuated after four-hour wait in northern France
Passengers told the BBC, after waiting for about four hours for help, people were released from a broken Eurostar train in Northern France.
A person on the ship, emergency services and local rescue teams before coming to distribute water without air conditioning stuck in the train, he said.
James Grierson said a series of “very angry” passengers have been evacuated and a spare train was not a “sign” to collect them.
Eurostar approached for a comment. Previously, he had sent messages on social media to call passengers to stay in their seats and wait for a spare train.

The train left Brussels at 08:52 local time (07:52 BST) and reached London St Pancras International at 09:57 BST.
However, more than two hours of travel time has now reached more than five.
Mr. Grierson said the train was experiencing “some electrical failure” except Calais 10 minutes. Other passengers told the BBC that both engines on the train broke down.
Eurostar has not yet commented on the cause of the delay.
38 -year -old Lidia Aviles from Brussels said that passengers were not allowed to leave the train for hours due to security concerns about people standing near the rails.
“Toilets weren’t working. This is terrible for babies and old people.”
The paintings from the stage are carrying dozens of people out of the fixed train, and with the savior of high whiskey jackets, one carries bottled water -filled water.
A few passengers texted Airostar on X, complaining about no air conditioning, overflowing toilets and lack of updates.
The railway operator replied, saying that some of these messages apologizes and a spare train was organized to get them.
