"Flooding in Thames Tunnel Halts Eurostar, Stranding Thousands Across UK and Europe"

Eurostar services to and from London St Pancras were cancelled due to flooding in a tunnel under the River Thames, disrupting New Year's plans for thousands of passengers. Stranded travelers in London and Paris faced challenges in rearranging their plans, with some incurring high costs for alternative accommodations and travel. Thames Water suggested a "fire control system" caused the flooding. Affected customers can receive refunds or exchanges from Eurostar, but the timeline for service restoration remains uncertain. This incident adds to recent travel disruptions across the UK, including train and flight delays due to severe weather and staff shortages.
