Upcoming UK rail strikes in October. Find out more
We’re aware of planned strike action in Belgium on Wednesday 05 October.
We will run a full timetable and public transport (underground, tram and bus services) will be available in Brussels. However, disruption is expected on local trains, which could affect connecting journeys in Belgium.
If you have a connecting journey, plan ahead and allow extra time to travel to/from Brussels-Midi/Zuid. Please visit the SNCB website for traffic updates.
If you’re travelling on 08 October, we’re aware of planned strike action on this date. Although the full impact is not yet known, we expect to run most of our trains. We will update this page as soon as more information becomes available. Passengers travelling on this date will be contacted if their journey is affected by timetable changes.
Travelling on 01 October?
There will be a national strike across the UK railway network on that day. Although the strike doesn’t involve Eurostar staff, it will have an impact on our timetable as running hours have been reduced on UK rail lines, including the high-speed line we use.
This means we’ll be running a reduced timetable on 01 October.
Check our revised timetable to find out if your train is cancelled or the departure and arrival times have changed.

If your train is scheduled to run, there will still be major disruption to local railway traffic in the UK, which may affect connecting journeys. Please plan your journey to/from St Pancras International carefully and allow extra time.
Travelling on 05 October?
Eurostar will operate as normal and the London Underground will remain open. However, disruption is to be expected on other trains in the UK, including London Overground trains.
Please allow extra time to travel to/from London and check for updates if you’re taking a connecting train in the UK.
From 07 June 2023 and until the end of the year, our direct trains to Disneyland® Paris will not run.

To help Ukrainian nationals travelling to the UK, we can offer a free Eurostar ticket from any Eurostar station to London St. Pancras International.
If you have a valid visa to enter the UK, along with your Ukrainian passport, please speak to a member of the Eurostar team at Paris Nord, Brussels-Midi, Lille Europe, Rotterdam Centraal or Amsterdam Central stations, and they will issue a ticket for travel to London.
It is important to arrive with the necessary visa documents, as these will be checked by the UK Border Force during the check-in process.
At Amsterdam Centraal and Rotterdam Centraal, there are ticket gates between the station entrance and the Eurostar departures building. When you reach the gates, please press the assistance button, or speak to a nearby member of station staff who will let you through the gates. Then, head straight to the Eurostar departures building located at the end of platform 15b in Amsterdam Centraal, and in the middle of platform 2 in Rotterdam Centraal. Your Eurostar ticket to London will be issued at the Eurostar departures building.
The UK government is regularly reviewing the criteria for Ukrainian refugees to enter the UK, so we would strongly recommend contacting the British Embassy or checking the UK government website for the latest information.
