Due to current weather conditions and as a precautionary measure, speed restrictions will be in place on the high speed lines in both the UK and Northern France on Wednesday 1 December. As a result Eurostar services are subject to delays of up to 30 minutes.

In light of the knock on impact, regrettably it is necessary to cancel some services today to ensure we can operate all remaining scheduled services.

If you are affected by these cancellations and who wish to complete your journey today, plans are in place to accommodate you on the next available service. Alternatively you may either exchange your ticket or receive a refund through your original point of sale.

The direct Disney train normaly runs to time.

The engineering works taking place near Paris which are adding an extra 10 minutes journey times on the direct London to Paris trains are not helping matters.

The timetable for Thursday 2 December will be available from 2pm on the Eurostar site.
