"Floods Disrupt Eurostar, Stranding Passengers and Threatening NYE Travel"

New Year's Eve travel plans for many in western Europe have been disrupted due to 'unprecedented' flooding in a major rail tunnel under the River Thames, leading to the cancellation of all 41 Eurostar trains scheduled for Saturday. The flooding, compounded by the recent Storm Gerrit, has left hundreds of travelers stranded and marks the second significant disruption for Eurostar in the past 10 days, following a strike by French workers before Christmas. Engineers are working to reduce water levels in the tunnels, but further stormy weather and travel disruptions are anticipated.
