Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Independent

New Year's Eve travel plans for many passengers were disrupted due to hundreds of train cancellations across the UK, caused by flooding and staff shortages. Eurostar customers experienced additional chaos with resumed services unable to accommodate the backlog of 36,000 passengers from previous cancellations. Northern Trains advised against travel on several routes, and long-distance and local services faced widespread cancellations. The Met Office issued weather warnings, anticipating further travel disruptions due to wind and rain.

"Eurostar Overcomes Chaos: Services Resume Amid UK Weather Havoc and Flood Disruptions"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian

Eurostar passengers experienced significant distress and disruption as around 30,000 travelers had their journeys canceled due to a flooded tunnel under the Thames. The chaos at St Pancras station led to stress, tears, and last-minute cancellations, with some passengers like Sean Winterbottom and his partner having to abandon their Paris New Year's plans. Others, like the Eyres and a family returning to Ghent, faced mayhem, poor communication, and additional expenses to rebook or find alternative travel arrangements. Despite the turmoil, some trains resumed on time the following day, but not without added financial and emotional strain for those affected.
