Amended Eurostar service 18-19 October due to industrial action in France

Due to industrial action by public sector workers in France on Thursday 18 October, Eurostar will be further amending its timetable on Thursday 18 October and Friday 19 October 2007 to minimise disruption to travellers.  

Thursday 18 October 2007
The following six Eurostar services will be cancelled on Thursday 18 October - other services may be subject to delay or possible short notice cancellation.  
9003 06.22 Paris - London Waterloo
9049 17.43 Paris – London Waterloo
9012 09.09 London Waterloo - Paris
9040 16.12 London Waterloo – Paris
9046 17.40 London Waterloo – Paris
9148 16.39 London Waterloo - Brussels
No Eurostar services will call at Calais-Fréthun throughout the day.    

Eurostar services will only call at Lille Europe station between 10.00 and 19.00 (French time) – outside these times no Eurostar trains will arrive/depart from the station.  The following services will not call at Lille Europe station.
9109 07.05 Brussels – Lille (07.42) – London Waterloo
9157 18.59 Brussels – Lille (19.36) – London Waterloo
9163 20.28 Brussels – Lille (21.06) – London Waterloo

9154 18.11 London – Lille (20.56) – Brussels
9158 19.13 London – Lille (21.54) - Brussels

There will also be no services on the Paris urban transport network (including the Metro) throughout the day and very limited services on the French high speed TGV network.

Eurostar is therefore advising all travellers not to travel if at all possible on Thursday 18 October.  Travellers who choose not to travel will be able to exchange their tickets for travel within the next 60 days.  All ticket exchanges are subject to availability.

Friday 19 October 2007
On Friday 19 October the following four Eurostar services will be cancelled:
9003 06.22 Paris – London Waterloo
9148 16.39 London Waterloo - Brussels
9109 07.05 Brussels – London Waterloo

Travellers booked on the above four trains who choose not to travel will be able to exchange their tickets for travel within the next 60 days.

All ticket exchanges are subject to availability.
