Yeah - what do you think I said above ?

But - FFS, did nobody anticipate condensation occurring and affecting the electrics with such a change of temperature

My dad came through the Channel Tunnel yesterday. He was due to come through about lunch time, but broke down on the French motorway on the way there. By the time he was back moving again, he was many hours late at the tunnel. He may well have got the last train which made it through. It was already a hell of a journey from spending some hours on the side of the motorway in howling cold gale (don't think it was snowing yet at that point, fortunately). Came close to being much worse.

You'd have thought it would have been known about with tube trains. Although they run on a lower voltage.

If it had been properly tropicalised it would have been ok. But who'd anticipate tropicalisation being necessary in Northern France?

What surprises me isn't that it happened - I'm not too surprised that no-one thought to make the trains able to take a 25-degree instantaneous temperature change - nor even that it was so flippin' hot in the tunnels. It's that it never happened before. What was so odd about yesterday?
