Eurostar limits weekend travel

Extra tickets are being made available on some Eurostar services from Monday to Thursday next week following the fire in the Channel Tunnel.

But no tickets are available from today until Sunday and next weekend.

Eurostar services remain restricted, following last weekââ¬â¢s blaze.  Journey times are extended and waiting times in stations will be longer. 

The company has operated around 60% of its normal timetable. 

Demand at weekends remains ââ¬Åâœvery highââ¬~ and passengers with tickets for travel today until Sunday and next weekend continue to be advised to exchange their tickets for travel at a later date or obtain a refund.

Eurotunnel, the operator of the Channel Tunnel, is working hard to enable additional Eurostar services to be restored and more information will be communicated when it is available, the company said.
