There are reports in the press of the possibility of strike action by Eurostar trains drivers in the run up to Christmas. At present we have not been advised by Eurostar of the effect, if any this will have on customers we have travelling with us.
Of course as soon as we are advised on any concrete developments from Eurostar we will advise accordingly. In the meantime please see below a statement from Marc Noaro Eurostar's customer services director.
Eurostar said it had already met with and continues to talk to the unions to resolve the dispute.
“The rosters and shift patterns were introduced as a result of the amended timetable since the incident in the Channel Tunnel in September and fully meet the conditions of contract for all Eurostar UK train managers,” a statement said.
Eurostar UK train managers represent a proportion of the total complement, which includes staff from French and Belgian national railways.
Eurostar customer services director Marc Noaro said: “Following the Channel Tunnel incident and the introduction of the current amended timetable our passengers have experienced significant disruption and by far the majority have understood the situation. We are extremely disappointed that our UK train managers have decided on this course of action and at this time, and we will make every effort to ensure our travellers face no further disruption in the busy period up to Christmas & the New Year.” |

Eurostar will inform us early in the New Year with regards to the timetable post the 11th March and as soon as we know. we will inform you.
