Eurostar tunnel breakdown review making ââ¬Åâœgood progressââ¬~

 

 
 
Results of an independent probe into the breakdown of Eurostar trains in the Channel Tunnel before Christmas are not expected until the second week in February.
A statement from review joint chairman Christopher Garnett and Claude Gressier said "good progress" was being made.
"Everyone is being extremely open and co-operative in helping us understand exactly what happened over the weekend of 18 and 19 December 2009 when the trains broke down in the tunnel," they said.
"We are well advanced with our report but want to take advantage of the joint Review of the UK and French authorities which is taking place at the end of January.
"We expect therefore to publish our findings in the week commencing 8 February 2010. An exact date for publication will be announced in due course."
