Eurostar strikes continue into April as more trains cancelled in Paris

Eurostar passengers could see their travel plans disrupted this week due to ongoing industrial action at French customs in Paris.

Due to the strikes, the high speed rail company has been forced to cancel a number of its services until Wednesday 3rd April.

Because the strikes are in France it's services from Paris back to London which are being cancelled, leaving hundreds of passengers facing chaos and long queues.

Initially the industrial action was expected to last just until the end of March, with Eurostar already having cancelled a number of services from Paris.

Some passengers were left facing queues of up to five hours as the service urged people at the time not to travel unless absolutely essential.

The ongoing strikes come as another blow for the company following more disruptions over the weekend after a Brexit protester wreaked havoc at London St Pancras.

Eurostar is offering those travelling from Paris until April 3rd the option to their change their ticket free of charge to a future travel date, or claim a full refund. You can find out more on the Eurostar website here .
