Eurostar and London North Eastern Railway has released travel advice after a wartime bomb was discovered near Paris Gare du Nord.
All trains today have been cancelled by Eurostar to and from London St Pancras International, with Eurostar saying passengers should change the journey to a different day or claim a refund.
London North Eastern Railway, who run trains to and from London Kings Cross, say that passengers with tickets marked 7th March can travel on an alternative train, and passengers who have abandoned travel today can return home at no additional cost.
They have also said those who defer travel can use their LNER ticket on the same day.
Responses
Bearing in mind that the incident occurred so close to Paris-Nord, couldn’t Eurostars terminate at Lille for immigration / custome clearance and provide reasonably fast train connections to the Paris region avoiding Paris-Nord? At least there could be a back-up for next time it happens.
Eurostar’s ‘advice’ was always going to be ‘tough, but we don’t care’, so no surprise there then.
