There are no trains running today (Sunday 20th December). If you are in Paris now then you are entitled to 150euros each per person for accommodation and food for tonight. Iit states on the website that this is only for passengers affected on Friday and Saturday but having spoken to a Eurostar member of staff they confirmed that this will also cover travellers today (Sunday).

Tomorrow they are hoping to start running Eurostar services although there is no guarantee. We have been told that seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis, the trains normally run from 5am and you can start queuing for these trains as soon as you like (if you want to spend an evening in a freezing cold station). According to a member of staff there is only likely to be 1 train running per hour.

Some passengers are choosing to get a train / bus to Calais and get a ferry. Alternatively Eurolines are running coaches from Paris to London.  Times and current prices for 1 person are shown below for the next week.

There is currently no advice from Eurostar as for exactly when trains will start running through the tunnel again but what is sure is that there will be a huge backlog and there will be no guarantees of when you will get on a Eurostar train.

By far the most comprehensive snow forecast site available. Subscription service where you can access a bounty of information, including historical reports and weather maps. A six day report is available for free.

If you’re used to the BBC’s weather forecasting then this is the one for you but cannot compete with snow-forecast for number of resorts.
