There’s been a series of ongoing strikes in France since 07 March. New days of mobilisation may be announced by French unions at short notice. The next one will take place on Tuesday 06 June.

If we need to make timetable changes as a result, we’ll update this page and contact affected customers as soon as possible.

Public transport and train connections may continue to be disrupted in France. If you travel to/from Lille or Paris, please check the latest service updates on the following websites:

• SNCF.com for connecting journeys in France
• RATP.fr for public transport in Paris
• Ilevia.fr for public transport in Lille

Due to a series of engineering works, we have had to make the following changes to our timetable between London and Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam:


Sunday 28 and Monday 29 May 2023

Trains will not stop at Rotterdam or Amsterdam on these dates except train 9152 on Monday 29 May. All other trains between London and the Netherlands will terminate or start their journeys at Brussels-Midi/Zuid.

Train 9152 will be able to run from London to Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam on Monday 29 May, but it will leave later than originally scheduled:

NEW departure London: 19:04 (originally 18:04)

NEW arrival Lille: 21:24 (originally 20:26)

NEW arrival Brussels: 22:04 (originally 21:05)

NEW arrival Rotterdam: 23:31 (originally 22:32)

NEW arrival Amsterdam: 00:13 (originally 23:13)


Saturday 03 and Sunday 04 June 2023

If you’re travelling to/from Rotterdam or Amsterdam on these dates, journey times will be 30 minutes longer than normal. This is because trains will have to take a different route through the Netherlands due to engineering works. Tickets went on sale with the correct departure and arrival times, so you don’t need to update anything. But you might notice that journey times on other days are shorter and wonder why.


Saturday 17 June 2023

Train 9119 will not depart from Amsterdam due to platform closures. The train will run from Rotterdam and Brussels to London only:

Departure Amsterdam: 07:47 CANCELLED

Departure Rotterdam: 08:28

Departure Brussels: 09:51

Arrival London: 11:00


Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 June 2023

Trains will not stop at Rotterdam or Amsterdam on these dates. All trains between London and the Netherlands will terminate or start their journeys at Brussels-Midi/Zuid.


If your Eurostar train or stop is cancelled or the departure time is postponed by more than 60 minutes, you can:

• Exchange your booking for free to travel at a different time/date in the same travel class, subject to availability OR
• Cancel your booking and claim a Eurostar e-voucher valid for 12 months OR
• Cancel your booking and claim a refund from where you originally bought your ticket.

Find out more about your options.

If your train is now departing at a different time, please download your ticket again for up-to-date information and arrive at the station at the recommended time shown on your updated ticket.

From 07 June 2023 and until the end of the year, our direct trains to Disneyland® Paris will not run.

However, you can still reach Disneyland® Paris after this date by taking a connection in Lille or Paris.

We’ll be reviewing our plans for 2024 during the course of 2023.
