Thousands of Eurostar passengers face travel chaos after trains were cancelled and dozens more delayed by the theft of cables.
It follows delays on the cross-Channel service when two people were killed in France on Tuesday after being hit by trains.
French media reported that 600 metres of copper cables were then stolen overnight near Lille.
At least six morning departures between London and Paris were axed, with other trains hit by delays of more than 90 minutes.
Eurostar said in a statement said the deaths on the LGV Nord high-speed line between Lille and Paris yesterday had caused “significant disruption”, including cancellations on routes to and from Paris.
Trains on the London–Brussels–Amsterdam route continued to run with delays, with disruption continuing on Wednesday morning due to the knock-on impact of displaced trains and crew.
“Further to this, services have been further affected by an incident of cable theft on the same line near Lille”, a Eurostar spokesperson said.
“Trains are being re-routed via diversionary routes, which is leading to extended journey times.”
Water is being distributed onboard delayed trains, and affected customers can change their travel plans free of charge or request a full refund, Eurostar said.
Customers have been contacted directly with updates and available options.
