But there was better news for Eurostar passengers, with the Channel Tunnel high-speed train company able to run a full service, 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 Thursday.
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. GNER spokesman Alan Hyde said: "We have been working hard to ensure that our trains and crews are in the right places to run as normal a service as possible.

Airport woes boost Eurostar sales
Tightened airline security and foggy weather at UK airports in December, which caused widespread disruption to flights, helped lift Eurostar.
The firm forecast that demand for its services would remain strong in 2007.
"We expect 2007 to be another good year," said chief executive Richard Brown, adding that the Tour de France in July and the France-hosted Rugby World Cup in the autumn were already generating strong demand.
When launched, Eurostar was owned by French state-run railway operator SNCF, Belgium's SNCB and British Rail.

In total 7.85 million travellers chose Eurostar in 2006, up 5.4 % on 2005. Leisure traveller numbers rose by 4.5%, while the largest increase was in business traveller numbers, rising over 17%.Eurostar has also recorded its best ever punctuality figures. 91.5% of journeys were on time, compared to an average of just 70% for flights on the London to Paris and London to Brussels routes.

Eurostar back on track
Eurostar confirmed a full recovery from the aftermath of the July 7 bombings today as it announced record sales.
The cross-channel train service suffered a dip in customer growth following the attacks two years ago, as tourists stayed away from London and continental Europe.
Eurostar said it had overcome the slump to post revenues of 518.3m last year, an increase of 11.7% on 2005. Passenger numbers on the London-Paris-Brussels service rose 5.4% to 7.85 million, double the rate of growth in the previous year.
Article continuesRichard Brown, Eurostar chief executive, said an improvement in punctuality - which resulted in nine out of ten trains arrving on time - had helped win back customers.
