Major Disruption on Eurostar Services

What Happened?

A quarter of all Eurostar trains have been cancelled from Friday through the weekend after coordinated arson attacks targeted high-speed rail lines in France. These malicious acts, described by France's transport minister as "co-ordinated malicious acts," have caused chaos, particularly affecting travel to and from the UK, Belgium, and various regions of France. A fourth attack, aimed at a line running south, was fortunately foiled.

Impact on Travelers

Approximately 800,000 passengers are expected to be affected by this disruption. Among those impacted are spectators traveling to the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and holidaymakers beginning their summer vacations. Notable figures, including UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, had to alter their travel plans, opting to fly to Paris instead.

Despite the disruptions, some Eurostar services are still operational, albeit with delays of up to three hours. Eurostar’s Chief Commercial Officer François Le Doze reassured that most passengers departing from London to Paris on Friday could still travel, though they should expect delays of around 90 minutes.
