• Eurostar services between London, Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam resumed on Sunday after flooding in a tunnel under the River Thames caused major disruption and cancellations on Saturday.
• Thousands of passengers were left stranded at stations, with many facing expensive hotel bills, difficulties reaching their destinations, or costly airfares.
• Some passengers reported chaotic scenes at stations, with Eurostar staff overwhelmed and unable to provide assistance.
• Despite the resumption of services, Eurostar warned that Sunday could still see delays and crowded stations due to speed restrictions in place in the morning.
