Eurostar, the high-speed train service connecting the United Kingdom with France, has faced disruptions in its operations due to what the company described as 'coordinated acts of malice' on French train lines.
The incidents have affected travel between Paris and Lille, leading to the cancellation and diversion of trains. Eurostar has been forced to reroute journeys and extend travel times as a result.
In a statement addressing the situation, Eurostar explained, 'Due to coordinated acts of malice in France impacting the high-speed line between Paris and Lille, all high-speed trains traveling to and from Paris are currently being diverted via the classic line on Friday, July 26. This diversion is causing an additional hour and a half to the journey time, with several trains having to be cancelled.'
The disruptions have inconvenienced passengers relying on Eurostar's services for efficient travel between the two countries. The company is working to manage the situation and minimize the impact on travelers affected by the incidents.
Eurostar has not provided further details on the nature of the 'coordinated acts of malice' that prompted the disruptions. However, the company is actively addressing the challenges posed by the situation to ensure the safety and well-being of its passengers.
Travelers planning to use Eurostar services during this period are advised to stay updated on any changes or developments regarding their journeys. Eurostar is working to restore normal operations as swiftly as possible while prioritizing the safety and security of its passengers.
