LONDON (Reuters) - Eurostar said its rail services between London and Paris had been disrupted by acts of vandalism in France, resulting in several cancellations and longer journey times.
"Due to coordinated acts of malice in France, affecting the high speed line between Paris and Lille, all high speed trains going to and coming from Paris are being diverted via the classic line today Friday 26 July. This extends the journey time by around an hour and a half," Eurostar said in a statement.
"Several trains have been cancelled."
