"Eurostar Resumes After Flood Disruption as UK Braces for Severe New Year Weather"

Eurostar services are expected to resume after "unprecedented" flooding in tunnels near Ebbsfleet International caused mass cancellations, affecting an estimated 30,000 passengers' New Year plans. Despite efforts to control the flooding and resume services, passengers are warned of potential delays and sold-out trains. The disruption also affected domestic services due to bad weather and staff shortages. Eurostar has outlined compensation for stranded passengers, and while some travelers sought alternative routes, others were forced to cancel their plans, including trips to Disneyland Paris and other New Year's Eve events.
