Belgian Rail Strike To Disrupt Eurostar Service To Brussels
Paris, France (AHN) – Eurostar service from some European countries to Belgium will be disrupted by a 24-hour strike by Belgium rail workers set to begin at 22:00 Central European Time on Sunday and end at 22:00 (CET) on Monday.
Belgium rail workers are striking to protest a deadlock in negotiations with Belgium’s SNCB rail company over an unpaid bonus to workers.
No Eurostar trains will operate to Brussels during that time, according to a statement on the Eurostar website.
“A revised Eurostar timetable will be in place on our Brussels route, with trains running between Lille Europe station and the U.K. only. A very limited coach service will operate between Lille and Brussels and we expect heavy demand for these coaches and journey times will be significantly longer (by approximately 2 hours). We would therefore recommend that customers planning to travel between Belgium and the UK during this time postpone their journeys if possible. Customers can exchange their Eurostar tickets free of charge within 60 days for a journey in the next 120 days,” Eurostar officials said.
In addition, strikes in France will disrupt Eurostar service there earlier on Sunday. However, the Paris-London line will not be affected.
