Due to flooding in a railway tunnel near London, the departure of more than ten trains connecting Britain with continental Europe was canceled on Saturday morning, the international railway company Eurostar announced.
“Eurostar services to and from London have been canceled and there are serious delays to the service due to infrastructure problems caused by flooding in one of the Thames tunnels between St Pancras International and Ebbsfleet station,” the company said.
At least 14 trips between London and Paris, Amsterdam or Brussels have been canceled so far.
This is the second blow for Eurostar customers during the holiday season. On December 21, a surprise strike in France disrupted the pre-Christmas travel plans of thousands of people.
It is not yet known when rail traffic will resume.
