Tens of thousands of passengers who were expecting to travel on Eurostar trains between London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam yesterday woke up on New Year’s Eve where they did not expect to be.
Due to technical problems in the Channel Tunnel, 30 international trains were cancelled on Tuesday – and one which did run arrived this morning in Paris a full 12 hours behind schedule. Eurostar has not commented on the journey, but Eurotunnel said it was not responsible for what it called an “overnight incident on the British network”.
