But there was better news for Eurostar passengers, with the Channel Tunnel high-speed train company able to run a full service today, except for one early Paris to London train which was cancelled.
Severe weather in northern France had led to a suspension of Eurostar's London to Paris and Brussels services in the second half of yesterday.
A Eurostar spokesman said: "We're running alright today and the trains are very full, as a number of passengers were unable to travel with us yesterday."
A severely-reduced service was operating on GNER's East Coast main line between London and Edinburgh while an emergency timetable was in operation on the Virgin West Coast main line.

Early AAA Stent Grafts Graded C-minus
When they looked at outcomes over the long haul, the EUROSTAR investigators found that up to eight years after surgery, 19.9% of patients had died from all causes, and that 3% had died from aneurysm-related causes. In addition, 7.1% required conversion to open repair, and 2.4% had rupture of the aneurysm.

Air travel troubles benefit Eurostar
Eurostar enjoyed its best year yet in 2006 as the increasing stress of air travel and the damage it does to the environment persuaded more business travellers to switch to the high-speed rail service to Paris and Brussels.
A record 7.85 million passengers travelled on Eurostar - 5 per cent up on the previous year - while sales rose nearly 12 per cent to top pound;500m for the first time.
A spokesman said that an estimated 1,000 business passengers a week were switching from plane to train because of increased airport security and the general hassle of air travel.
He also said the environmentally friendly nature of rail was of growing importance to big corporate customers such as banks and multinationals who were looking to cut their carbon emissions.
