Eurostar, the high-speed passenger service linking the UK and mainland Europe, claims it will not be affected by planned industrial action in the UK by the Public and Commercial Services union on Thursday 30 June.

The train operator does not expect the planned industrial action to impact its services, which will run as planned to a normal timetable. Additionally, Eurostar has added extra capacity on Thursday 30 June and will operate two additional services to and from London and Paris:

London - Paris, departing 1331
Paris - London, departing 1443

While there is currently availability, given the high level of demand, seats on these additional Eurostar services are expected to sell quickly, and customers are advised to go to www.eurostar.com or call 08432 186 186 to check availability and make their booking.
