Travel chaos on Eurostar from London to ParisSource: The Independent
Transcript
00:00At St Pancras International Railway Station in central London we were expecting Friday the 26th
00:07of July to be the busiest day ever with 18 trains running from here to the French capital for the
00:16Olympic getaway. As it's turned out well what the company is calling acts of malice on the high
00:25speed line from Lille to Paris mean that all trains are delayed and some very regrettably
00:32are cancelled. It's a terrible situation that is going to wreck the travel plans
00:39of thousands of people today all of whom were looking forward to a smooth journey.
00:46Many trains will be able to travel but they will take 90 minutes longer however for people
00:53who are booked on trains that are cancelled they're basically being told you can switch
00:59to another train but unfortunately almost everything this weekend is absolutely full.
01:06It's a terrible situation.
