"Eurostar Resumes Post-Flooding as UK Braces for Severe New Year's Weather"

Eurostar train services between London and continental Europe were canceled on Saturday, December 30, 2023, due to a flooded tunnel under the River Thames, affecting hundreds of travelers' holiday plans. The disruption, caused by heavy rain and strong winds from Storm Gerrit, left passengers stranded at St. Pancras International in London and Gare du Nord in Paris. Engineers reported unprecedented water levels in the tunnel but noted that water levels were reducing. The cancellation came amidst a period of stormy weather in the UK, with more high winds and rain forecasted, and followed recent disruptions due to a strike by Eurotunnel staff. Eurostar apologized for the inconvenience during the festive season.
