I pray nothing like this happens Monday week when I'm due to catch the train to St. Pancras for an EC train to York from KGX.

From SET:

We’re sorry that your journey may have been delayed today, this was due to an electrical problem on High Speed 1 infrastructure.
Engineers are still working to remedy the situation but it's likely services will continue to be disrupted for the rest of today.
Passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journey and consider using mainline services as an alternative.
London Underground will continue to accept valid train tickets on all reasonable routes.
If your journey has been delayed by more than half an hour you can claim compensation through our Delay Repay scheme.


Owing to electrical supply problems between Ebbsfleet International and St Pancras International all lines are affected.
Impact:
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 50 mins or revised at short notice. Disruption is expected until 01:00 03/09.
Customer Advice:
London Underground and FCC will pass Southeastern passengers across from St Pancras to All other London Terminals for alternative Services.
Arriva Fast track Buses will pass Southeastern passengers across from Ebbsfleet to Northfleet and Gravesend for services to London.

Single line working was in place for most of the day. Biggest delay was 231min to 9O12. No cancellations. Delays felt as far as Brussles.

Does this mean a pilotman was used or is it bi-directional lines?

Bi-directional IIRC.

No Eurostar cancellations

TVM allows bi directional working anywhere on the line. The problem is the limited number of crossovers.

Of course, I was referring to E* services only - forgot about SET. I don't know how many cancellations they had or what their longest delay was.
