Eurostar woes

Eurostar services halted again over fire

Eurostar trains were again temporarily halted on Monday after the service was still dealing with the aftermath of a weekend of cross-Channel rail chaos.

French firefighters closed the line after a blaze alongside the track in St Denis on the outskirts of Paris.
Eurostar said services had been brought to a temporary

halt by the fire alongside the line, but said they hoped to have the tracks reopened by around 1pm GMT.

Eurostar passengers are still facing delays of up to an hour after a weekend of cross-Channel travel chaos, as one rail tunnel to the Continent remains closed.
