Eurostar trains to and from London will run again on Sunday: floods in railway tunnel under control | Instagram VTM News

The company said in a statement to Sky News that the floods had been brought under control, allowing train services to resume. Eurostar warns of delays as speed restrictions will remain in effect. Eurostar says it regrets the cancellation of trains on Saturday and notes that affected customers have the option to rebook or request a refund.

Many travelers were affected on Saturday. About 30,000 in total, according to Eurostar itself. At St Pancras station in London, it was chaos all day with passengers stranded. Some angry customers discovered there were no trains running when they arrived at St Pancras this morning. Some reportedly returned home to pack their cars and attempt to cross by ferry. Others chose to book flights.

Still others wait for hours at the station for more information and perhaps a later train. After all Eurostar trains in the morning and afternoon had already been cancelled, disappointing news finally arrived in the afternoon: no high-speed train is running today from London to Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and vice versa. This included a total of 41 canceled trains.

At Brussels South train station, many people waited lost in the station hall all day: many Flemish people saw their flight to the British capital canceled and ended up in Brussels. “We and our family have been stranded in south Brussels since 7am,” Benny Slets told our editors this morning. “The annoying thing about the whole situation is that we are not receiving any information at all.”

Many travelers also confirmed this to the editors of VTM NIEUWS. “The people at Securitas have been helpful, but other than that we haven't heard anything from Eurostar itself and we're not getting any news on the website either,” traveler Ben Dehaeck said on Saturday afternoon.

There were also Flemish people stuck in London. “We have now rebooked our train for Sunday,” Margo Vandecandeleer testified to VTM NIEUWS from the British capital. Margot was supposed to stay in London with her mother and sister for three days, but they are now staying an extra night. “Hopefully we'll be home in time for New Year's.”
