Eurostar faces strike threat

Only 85% of Eurostar services will operate as a result of a two-day strike by signal workers.

There is expected to be widespread disruption across the UK rail network on Friday and Saturday due to the industrial action.

Eurostar is amending its timetable and expects to still operate 85% of services. But some will have earlier of later departure times.

Two additional servies are planned to help travellers who have to change their plans due to the disruption.

Two trains are cancelled on Friday and 10 on Saturday, with an additional Paris-Waterloo service added and a new Waterloo-Paris train on Sunday.

Travellers holding tickets on cancelled trains will be re-booked on earlier or later services by calling: 08705 186 186. Eurostar will also provide refunds or a ticket exchange for travel within 60 days.

Passengers are being advised to go to the http://www.Eurostar.com website for updated information on which services are affected.
