Eurostar passengers are faced with a second day of serious delays after the death of two people on the railroad in France, then cables were stolen.
High -speed rail operators indicate that the repairs are over and that the railway line is again open, but delays will last until the end of the day.
Eurostar said passengers should postpone their trip, after the disturbance services have seen the services canceled and delayed in the two directions on the lines connecting London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
Eurostar said there had already been a disturbance of the blows on Wednesday after two people died in separate incidents on the North Line LGV on Tuesday, but the services were assigned after the flight of the cable on the same line.
The flight near Lille, which, according to the French media, was approximately 600 meters of copper cables, caused the reaches of trains, which resulted in prolonged journey times.
Other cancellations are not expected Wednesday now that the railway line is repaired.
Eurostar has said that so far, five trains between London and Paris have been canceled.
He added that the impacted passengers can Change their travel plans for free or request a full refund.
“We are really sorry for the impact it has on our customers,” Eurostar said in a statement.
“Our teams work in close collaboration with the French authorities and the infrastructure teams to manage the situation and restore the services safely.”
The operator said earlier that a track reopened, allowing certain trains to operate in both directions until the end of the repairs.
The water is distributed to passengers aboard delayed trains, and the stations are also very busy.
Hundreds of people queue at the London St Pancras International Station by trying to access the service center to straighten up in other trains.
Elizabeth Romijn, a yoga professor from the Netherlands, told the news agency PA in St Pancras that the situation was “very chaotic” and that people had to sit on the ground because there were not enough chairs.
The 75 -year -old planned to go home in Brussels after visiting friends in Surrey.
“My plan is to wait. Maybe I should go and be more proactive and go ask one of the staff but no one seems to know anything,” she said, adding that “these are long-term queues.”
The railway line in France was closed for much of the afternoon and the evening on Tuesday after the two deaths between Lille and Paris.
The services were canceled on the roads to and from Paris while the trains between London, Brussels and Amsterdam ran with delays.
Eurostar said the disruptions continued on Wednesday while the trains and the crew were moved.
