"Eurostar Restarts Full Service Amidst Chaos and Delays After Severe Weather Disruptions"
TL;DR
Eurostar is set to resume full services on Sunday following the cancellation of all trains from London on Saturday due to flooding in two tunnels caused by Storm Gerrit. The disruption affected hundreds of travelers during the festive period, with significant travel plans, including New Year's Eve celebrations, being compromised. Despite the adverse weather conditions and previous disruptions from a staff strike, engineers have managed to reduce water levels in the tunnels, and Eurostar has apologized for the inconvenience to its customers.
