Travel Warning: Eurostar Disrupted

Eurostar passengers had big problems going to Europe because of a fire.

Trains between Britain and the Netherlands had severe problems after a fire near Rotterdam Central station. The UK government gave travel advice on Monday after the fire last week.

Last Monday, many London to Amsterdam trains were cancelled after a fire in a cable near Rotterdam Stadion. This caused a big power failure that stopped trains south of Rotterdam.

One passenger said, 'My travel plans were completely messed up, so I took the ferry.' Another said, 'We took the coach to Brussels. I hope we get our money back.' A third passenger also had problems.

The power cut stopped signals and switches between Rotterdam Centraal and other places like Dordrecht and Breda.

The UK government said, 'Eurostar trains between the UK and the Netherlands are severely disrupted because of a fire near Rotterdam Central station.'

Eurostar said trains will be disrupted until at least 6 July 2026. Travel times will be much longer because trains have to take different routes due to fire damage. Trains from London to Amsterdam won't stop in Rotterdam.

If you plan to travel between the UK and the Netherlands, check with your travel company and the Eurostar website for the latest information.

Travellers should check their plans with their booking company before going between the UK and the Netherlands.

The train company said, 'Because of fire damage near Rotterdam, our trains will be disrupted until at least 6 July 2026. Trains from London to Amsterdam won't stop at Rotterdam, and other trains won't stop at Schiphol or Rotterdam.'

Trains need to take a different route, so journey times will be much longer and there are not many seats available. We expect the disruption to last until at least 06 July 2026. We are sorry for the problems this has caused. We will try to fix it.

The UK government also gave new travel advice for people going to Greece. They said terrorists might try to attack in Greece.

The UK government said there are no warnings against visiting Greece, but terrorists might attack places visited by foreigners.

The UK government said there have been several attacks in Greece using explosives and guns against institutions, malls, banks, media, and the police.

One bad attack happened on Wednesday, July 1, where three attacks on homes of Greek politicians killed one person and hurt four others.
