clipped from www.nytimes.com LONDON — Eurostar suspended all its rail links between London, Paris and Brussels on Sunday as cold weather caused chaos on the high-speed passenger line for a third day, with no relief in sight. The problems began Friday when five Eurostar trains broke down in the tunnel under the English Channel. After reports that passengers on at least one were left without water, food or information, Nirj Deva, a Conservative member of the European Parliament, said Eurostar was guilty of incompetence. The unusual temperatures on the French side of the tunnel were part of wintry weather that stretched across Europe, killing 15 people in Poland and leading to cancellations at airports in several countries, The Associated Press reported. Eurostar said more than 2,000 people were trapped in the tunnel on Friday, sometimes for two to three hours, with delays to journeys as long as 18 hours.
