Eurostar Train Services Disrupted Due to Flooding
Heavy rain led to the flooding of the tunnel under the River Thames, causing the Eurostar train service to and from London to be canceled on Saturday. Passengers trying to travel between London and Paris found themselves stuck at St. Pancras International in London and Gare du Nord station in Paris.
Eurostar, which operates high-speed train services between London, Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, made the decision to suspend its services during one of the busiest periods of the year. The UK was hit by strong winds and heavy rain brought by Storm Gerrit, leading to the flooding of the tunnel.
In addition to the disruptions in the UK, heavy rains in Germany have caused widespread flooding, with rivers bursting their banks and more rain expected in the coming days. Meanwhile, residents in the Netherlands, Hungary, and Lithuania are also facing the consequences of the flooding, with flood barriers being erected and damage affecting daily life.
The disruption of Eurostar services and the widespread flooding across Europe have left many travelers stranded and communities dealing with the aftermath of the heavy rains. Authorities and meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation in the affected areas as they continue to deal with the impact of the floods.
