Eurostar Challenges
Saturday morning was supposed to be an early Eurostar trip from Amsterdam to London, but all trains ended up being cancelled for the day. This was due to a broken pipe in the Thames river (not the English Channel) that was filling the tunnel with water.
There weren’t going to be any trains on Sunday from Amsterdam and there were high winds, so we weren’t confident that flights would run either.
So, we took a train to the big Eurostar hub in Brussels, spent the night in a hotel… after quite a few failed attempts to book a new train for Sunday.
Sunday morning started early with a queue growing well before employees started working. Everyone’s goal is to get to London today, but of course the trains were probably already booked for people who were planning on travelling today.
Hopefully the next post will be from London for New Years Eve celebrations.
