It sounds a dreadful experience, and it is reassuring that you managed to find some consolation from the support of fellow passengers.

It is being put about that things in Europe are pretty bad too, so I looked up the Deutsche Bahn and SNCF websites. SCNF has limited TGV speeds to 230km/h (which I think is faster than our trains ever run), and in one area to 170 km/h.

There are delays in Germany, but the eat-your-heart-out gem is that, because of extra demand following airport closures, DB are laying on extra 'intercity' trains every two hours between Hannover and Berlin.

Does anyone know if the ferries are running normally?
