Limited Eurostar trains to run after tunnel fire
Only a limited Eurostar service will run for the next week following last Thursday’s fire in the Channel Tunnel.
The company warned people to avoid travelling unless journeys were “absolutely essentialâ€.
The very restricted timetable of passenger trains will leave few departures and intervals of several hours between some services until September 21.
“Travellers should check in as normal for the treain times given on their tickets and we will try to put you on one of our next available trains,†the company said.
“This could mean waiting a long time before boarding. Journey times will be significantly longer.â€
Travellers on non-essential journeys up to September 21 are being offered refunds or the chance to exchange their tickets for travel at a later date.
The unaffected south tunnel reopened yesterday to allow limited passenger and freight services to resume.
