After a one-day interruption, the railway company Eurostar has announced that normal operations between London and mainland Europe will resume on Sunday. The company announced this on Saturday evening on X (formerly Twitter). At the same time, Eurostar pointed out that there would be enormous rushes due to the interruption of traffic on Saturday.
A water intrusion in the tunnels between London’s Eurostar station St. Pancras and Ebbsfleet brought operations to a standstill on Saturday. Tens of thousands of travelers were stranded due to the cancellation of all connections shortly before the turn of the year.
Eurostar operates long-distance rail services between London and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam via Ashford station, halfway to the English south coast.
It was the second interruption of train services to London under the English Channel within ten days. After the end of an unannounced strike by French employees of the tunnel operator Getlink shortly before Christmas, train traffic only resumed on Friday a week ago. Eurostar had to cancel 30 trains because of the strike.
