«Breaking News» Eurostar advises passengers not to travel to Paris AT ALL

Eurostar is advising all passengers not to travel through Paris today due to severe disruption caused by continuing strikes by French customs officers.

The operator had hoped that the work-to-rule protest by customs officers protesting additional Brexit checks could be resolved, but talks between officers and government officials last night broke down. 

Five trains have been cancelled already and others have been delayed by more than four hours, with further disruption anticipated.

Passengers are being advised to avoid using Eurostar if at all possible, and to be patient if their travel plans can't be altered. 

'We are advising all our customers not to travel with us. If this is not possible, please be extremely patient. Our teams are doing their best to help where/when needed,' said the manager of Eurostar at Paris Gare du Nord, Lawrence on Twitter.

The cancellations to date are: the 10:06 from Paris Nord to London St Pancras, the 15:03 from Paris Nord to Ebbsfleet International and London St Pancras, the 20:07 from Paris Nord to Ashford International and London St Pancras, the 21:03 from Paris Nord to Ebbsfleet International and London St Pancras and the 19:01 from London St Pancras to Paris Nord. More could follow. 

Passengers can change their tickets to a future date, at no additional charge, or request a full refund. 

The operator was apparently caught off guard by the continued disruption. 

Eurostar staff had been optimistic that yesterday's talks would resolve the dispute. 

'I do not have detailed information but I was informed that talks were apparently constructive. Hence my deception this morning when I'm greeted by customs still on strike,' tweeted Lawrence.

On Sunday night Gavin Esler, the broadcaster and Kent University Chancellor, tweeted a video of hundreds of passengers standing in line at St Pancras International station.

He wrote: ‘Eurostar tonight - queue out of the door - anyone thinking of going on holiday after March 29 [and assuming the Brexit "sunlit uplands" continue] might find the same.

‘But hey, we can spend hours waiting for our flights, trains and ferries looking at our new blue passports.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
