Apologies for the silly thread title

Just driving home from work and the car cut out on me, all of the lights on the dash lit up on me, I managed to pull into the side of the road. On trying to restart, the engine cranks but obviously doesn't restart.

It felt like I lost control upon shifting into second gear, it just wasn't catching at all. Went into first gear and didn't catch there either, so pulled in and switched off the engine.

Managed to get the car towed and will be sent to a mechanics in the morn, just wondering what does it sound like? Alternator problems? timing belt?

Car was only serviced about 6 weeks ago. Its a 04 Peugot 307, Diesel.
