Eurostar tells passengers not to travel due to train cancellations
UPDATE: All trains have been cancelled for Tuesday 30th December
Eurostar has released a statement telling passengers not to travel and to rearrange travel for another date.
The affected Eurostar route is the service between London St Pancras International and Paris Nord. The following have already been cancelled: the 14.31, 15.31 and 20.01 services from London to Paris. In the opposite direction, the 15.12, 17.12, 20.12 and 21.12 services have all been cancelled. You can exchange your booking for free for a different date or cancel and claim an e-voucher or a refund.
LeShuttle, the service that transports road vehicles through the Channel Tunnel, is also warning of severe delays on its website. Its route travels from Folkestone to Calais.
On the UK side, LeShuttle is warning of a delay of around three-and-a-half hours. On the French side, it says there is a delay of around two hours.
The statement reads: “Due to a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel and a subsequent failed Le Shuttle train, we strongly advise all our passengers to postpone their journey to a different date. Please don’t come to the station unless you already have a ticket to travel. We regret that trains that can run are subject to severe delays and last-minute cancellations. Please check for live updates on the status of your train on the Train status and timetables page.”
National Rail has also issued a warning, advising passengers to postpone their journeys. Its statement reads: “There is a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel. Trains are likely to be subject to severe delays and last-minute cancellations. Check before you travel as your journey could be disrupted. We strongly advise all passengers to postpone their journey to a different date.”
