**Several hundred passengers are stuck on a Eurostar train in Kent after it experienced “technical problems”.**Eurostar said 740 passengers on the Paris to London service were stuck near Ashford and would be transferred to a rescue train and taken to London.
The train was due to leave Gare du Nord at 2113 GMT and arrive in St Pancras at 2229 GMT but was delayed after an unattended bag caused a security alert.
Passenger Alistair Neale said the lights in the carriages had failed.
Eurostar would not confirm this or reports that the cab had become detached from the train.
