Eurostar train services between London with Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam will resume completely on Sunday, the company announced late on Saturday, after flooding in railway tunnels in southeastern England forced major cancellations.
In a statement, Eurostar stated, “There will be some speed restrictions in place in the morning which may lead to delays, and stations are expected to be very busy”.
The tunnel flooding on Saturday halted international rail operations between London and the European continent, interrupting New Year’s travel for thousands of passengers, the second significant issue for consumers this holiday season.
A surprising industrial walkout by French workers on December 21 disrupted thousands of people’s Christmas travel plans.
It remained unclear what caused the flooding in the railway tunnels beneath the River Thames near Ebbsfleet, east of London.
Water gushed into one of the tunnels and covered the track, as hundreds of stranded passengers with baggage sat on the concourse of London’s St Pancras station.
“Eurostar has been working to ensure everyone affected has been supported in all of our stations. Customers have had the option to re-book onto alternative services or opt for a refund”, the firm wrote in its latest update on the situation.
