Channel Tunnel Update

Eurostar is now operating a very restricted timetable with very few services, and intervals of several hours between some trains. Eurostar recommends that passengers avoid travel unless their journey is absolutely essential.

Travellers should check-in as normal for the train times given on their ticket and they will try to put them on one on the next available trains.

This may mean long waiting times and longer journeys.

Travellers departing from London should note taht check-in will close at 18.45 (BST) until further notice.

Travellers departing from Paris should note that check-in will close at 20.00 (CET) until further notice.

Travellers departing from Brussels should note that heck-in will close at 20.30 (CET).

All travellers with non-essential journeys up to Sunday 21 September can get a refund or exchange their tickets for travel at a later date.

Eurotunnel, the operator of the Channel Tunnel, is working hard to enable additional Eurostar services to be restored following the fire.
