"Eurostar Resumes Sunday Service After Flood-Induced Disruptions Clear"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian
Eurostar is set to resume services through the Channel tunnel on Sunday after "unprecedented" flooding near Ebbsfleet was brought under control. Despite the reopening, passengers are warned of potential delays and busy stations due to speed restrictions and the possibility of further disruptions. The flooding, which began on Friday night, was attributed to a burst pipe in the tunnel's fire safety system, not weather-related issues. Additional disruptions on Southeastern Railway and Thameslink services are expected due to staff shortages and adverse weather conditions.
