Eurostar cancels one in four trains this weekend after sabotage

One in four Eurostar trains will be cancelled on Friday and over the weekend following arson attacks on the French railway network.

High-speed trains around France were hit by several “co-ordinated acts of malice” on Friday that heavily disrupted rail traffic on the day of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, Eurostar said in a statement.

Eurostar passengers were told to postpone their trips, with trains diverted and 90-minute delays expected, after the train service to Europe was disrupted by acts of vandalism in France, affecting its overhead power supplies.

They were supposed to be protected. We knew that transportation was a target.

Well, what a surprise. Couldn't be anything to do with the exclusion of the Ruzzists. Just wondering 🤔
