Eurostar disruptions after Channel Tunnel Fire

Eurostar services are still being disrupted following the fire in the tunnel on September 11th.

Due to ongoing problems in the tunnel, Eurostar is currently running a reduced service. Customers are advised to check the Eurostar site for updates and should reschedule their travel to after 1st October, if possible.

Eurotunnel spokesman John Keefe said: "Once we have got two-thirds of the north tunnel back in operation, the number of people boarding trains and the number of trains running will be almost back to 100% on Eurostar."

Eurostar have increased the number of trains to Paris from 12 a day to 15 as of yesterday. Before the fire on September 11, Eurostar was running 17 trains a day to the French capital.

Trains are having to slow down when they divert to the south tunnel to navigate past the fire-damaged section of the north tunnel.
