Eurostar Cancels 16+ Trains After France Power Outage

News summary

Eurostar train services between the UK and Paris have faced severe disruptions due to a power failure on the high-speed rail line between Moussy and Longueau in northern France, resulting in at least 16 cancellations and delays of up to nearly two hours during the peak summer travel season. The outage, which began around 8 am, has forced passengers to postpone journeys, with Eurostar offering free ticket exchanges or full refunds. The French rail operator SNCF described the incident as requiring major repairs, with no clear timeline for resolution, and alternative routes have been set up. This disruption has compounded recent issues for Eurostar, which has already experienced cancellations and delays earlier in the summer due to cable theft and train breakdowns, prompting frustration and complaints from passengers. Despite the chaos, routes such as London-Amsterdam and Brussels-Amsterdam remain unaffected. Eurostar has deployed extra staff at stations to assist travelers and urged passengers to stay updated via their website.
