Passengers stranded at St Pancras as Christmas plans thrown into disarray by strike
Thousands of passengers’s Christmas travel plans were hit by chaos in London after a last-minute strike in France suspended Eurostar services at St Pancras.
A strike from Eurotunnel staff suddenly halted the Eurostar, leaving large crowds stranded at St Pancras International station on Thursday, 21 December.
A row over a festive bonus caused the strike, with staff being offered a bonus of €1,000 despite unions requesting three times that much.
Eurotunnel confirmed that the strike ended on Thursday evening, beginning a return to services.
