Eurostar Cancels Trains Due to Flooding, Stranding Travelers

Passengers queue at the departure gates of the Eurostar terminal at Gare du Nord train station in Paris on Dec. 30, 2023, as flooding in a railway tunnel near London forced the cancellation of more than a dozen trains linking Britain with the European mainland.

Eurostar services to and from London were canceled Saturday after a tunnel under the River Thames became flooded due to heavy rain, disrupting festive travel plans.
