Since the train stopped in the French section of the tunnel, the investigation is being led by BEA-TT. RAIB\u2019s scope was primarily to determine the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n<p>The fire completely consumed two trucks that were being conveyed on the shuttle, and caused damage to rolling stock, railway infrastructure and the tunnel lining. It also severely disrupted services through the Channel Tunnel for several days.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation into the cause of the fire is now complete. The investigation into Eurotunnel\u2019s response to the second power trip and the fire continues.<\/p>\n<section class=\"attachment embedded\" id=\"attachment_1269249\">\n<div class=\"attachment-thumb\">\n      <a aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/474242\/151109_Channel_Tunnel_web_update.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/474242\/thumbnail_151109_Channel_Tunnel_web_update.pdf.png\"><\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"attachment-details\">\n<h2 class=\"title\"><a aria-describedby=\"attachment-1269249-accessibility-help\" href=\"\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/474242\/151109_Channel_Tunnel_web_update.pdf\">Channel Tunnel website update<\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"metadata\">\n        <span class=\"type\"><abbr title=\"Portable Document Format\">PDF<\/abbr><\/span>, <span class=\"file-size\">1.19MB<\/span>, <span class=\"page-length\">4 pages<\/span>\n    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accessibility-warning js-toggle-accessibility-warning\" id=\"attachment-1269249-accessibility-help\">\n<h2>This file may not be suitable for users of assistive technology.<br \/>\n          <span class=\"toggler\">Request a different format.<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/h2>\n<p class=\"help-block\">\n          If you use assistive technology and need a version of this document<br \/>\nin a more accessible format, please email<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:enquiries@raib.gov.uk?body=Details%20of%20document%20required%3A%0A%0A%20%20Title%3A%20Channel%20Tunnel%20website%20update%0A%20%20Original%20format%3A%20pdf%0A%0APlease%20tell%20us%3A%0A%0A%20%201.%20What%20makes%20this%20format%20unsuitable%20for%20you%3F%0A%20%202.%20What%20format%20you%20would%20prefer%3F%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20&amp;subject=Request%20for%20%27Channel%20Tunnel%20website%20update%27%20in%20an%20alternative%20format\">enquiries@raib.gov.uk<\/a>.<br \/>\nPlease tell us what format you need.
