Great timing!
Eurostar Trains is on everyone’s holiday shit list right now as they have just announced they are shutting down their services indefinitely! How fortunate for all the folks looking to travel through Europe this Christmas!
After the disastrous incident this weekend that found more than 2,000 passengers trapped inside their trains for more 15 hours, the company decided to suspend their travel routes in order to look over the mechanics and design of their trains. Though they explained that the “glitch” was caused by “acute weather conditions in northern France,” and after some testing, the trains ran smoothly, they are still insistent on holding off any travel until major upgrades can be done to their system.
The cancellation has forced more than about 31,000 people in Britain, France and Belgium to find alternative transportation for the holidays and considering the terrible weather conditions they are facing right now, that won’t be easy!
That just sucks! We truly do feel bad for all those people! Certainly, it isn’t the time of year in which you want to be stranded!
Update: On Tuesday, Eurostar will partially resume service between Britain, France and Belgium as the investigation continues.
