End of Surprise Strike Restores Train Travel Between France and UK

TL;DR Summary
Train travel between France and the UK has resumed after a surprise strike by French workers at Eurotunnel ended. The strike caused significant disruptions on the London-Paris route, with some trains having to return to Paris. The French government called the strike "unacceptable," and thousands of travelers were stranded at the Gare du Nord terminal in Paris. The strike was over bonus pay, and the trade unions rejected a payment of 1,000 euros, demanding it be tripled. French Transport Minister Clement Beaune called for an immediate solution, and Eurostar advised travelers to postpone their journeys if possible.
