All Eurostar services were cancelled from 19-21 December; delays and service cancellations continued after that.

This gives an interchange with Eurostar services to Continental Europe.

In the first quarter of 2009, 96% of Eurostar services were punctual compared with rival air routes' 76%.

A number of possible future developments affecting the Eurostar service have been brought forward and some planned to go ahead:

There were similar scenes at air and rail terminals across Europe - with Eurostar services again suffering huge disruption.

The High Speed 1 line with Eurostar services crosses the north of the borough, but there are no stations here.

Eurostar services were disrupted for five days after a series of trains broke down because of snow damaging electrical systems.

Until High Speed 1 opened the Eurostar service passed through the station, not stopping.

The dropping of these slots around 1999/2000 was seen by many as the final admission that regional Eurostar services would not ever operate.

There have been several minor incidents with a few Eurostar services.
