EUROSTAR has cancelled a number of trains to and from the UK this week due to the hot weather.
The train operator cited “adverse weather conditions” as the reason for the cancellations.
The cancellations include two services a day between London St Pancras International and Paris‘ Gare du Nord.
The affected trains are:
- Monday – 10:07am from Paris to London
- Monday – 1:31pm from London to Paris
- Tuesday – 10:07am from Paris to London
- Tuesday – 1:31pm from London to Paris
- Wednesday – 1:31pm from London to Paris
- Wednesday – 6:08pm from Paris to London
- Thursday – 1:31pm from London to Paris
- Thursday – 8:08pm from Paris to London
No trains have been cancelled on Friday yet but this could change later in the week.
Eurostar said in a statement: “Due to expected adverse weather on the Eurostar network, your train is cancelled.
“We’re so sorry for the disruption and any inconvenience caused.”
Passengers affected by the cancellations can move their booking to a later time and date.
Otherwise a full refund can be claimed, either with an e-voucher which can be used up to 12 months later, or a full refund (which doesn’t include booking fees).
The UK is set to high record temperatures for June this week, with highs up to 38C expected.
This would beat the previous hottest June temperature of 35.6C, which was in 1976 in Southampton.
