Eurostar trains suspended after incident on UK track

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) - Eurostar, the operator of passenger trains between London and Paris, said that services were disrupted on Monday due to the closure of part of the track in Britain after a person was hit by a train.

"Eurostar trains are subject to delay and cancellation this afternoon," the company said in a statement on its website.

The company said emergency services were attending the incident in between Ashford International station and Ebbsfleet International station in Kent and travel on the high-speed line would resume when the track was re-opened.

Eurostar runs trains through the Channel Tunnel, operated by Eurotunnel (Paris: FR0010533075 - news) , connecting passengers between the British and French capitals, and other cities including Brussels.

Earlier this year the temporary closure of the tunnel itself due to smoke from a lorry caused significant disruption to services. (Reporting by Sarah Young, Editing by Paul Sandle)
