London travel chaos as Euston services cancelled and last-minute strike hits Eurostar
Passengers in London have been hit by chaos on one of the busiest travel days of the year - with all Eurostar services cancelled due to a last-minute strike by Eurotunnel staff, and major disruption at Euston.
Tens of thousands of Christmas getaway journeys are thought to have been affected by the issues on Thursday.
The unexpected strike by Eurotunnel staff ended on Thursday evening after bringing international train journeys to a grinding halt, but Eurostar services remained cancelled until Friday.
Rail services at Euston resumed on Thursday afternoon, but passengers were warned to expect delays. All services from the station had earlier been suspended after what is believed to be a train fault.
The last-minute strike in France by Eurotunnel staff at operator Getlink, embroiled in a row over pay, saw all cross-Channel Eurostar services to and from St Pancras halted from midday on Thursday until the end of the day.
