Team GB athletes travelling to the Paris Olympics were among those waiting at St Pancras on Friday, 26 July, as Eurostar services were hit by cancellations as a result of a “malicious attack” on the service in France.
The rail operator confirmed a quarter of its trains would no longer run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday following “co-ordinated” vandalism.
Organisers of the Olympics Games are pushing ahead with the opening ceremony later, despite thousands of visitors being delayed by arson attacks on the key rail lines into Paris.
