Eurostar services between London and Paris descended into travel chaos on 4 August 2025, with at least 17 trains cancelled and others delayed by up to two hours due to a power outage near Moussy, 30 miles north of Paris.

In June, Eurostar customers were warned of disruptions after 600m of cable was stolen on the high-speed line near Lille, France, cancelling the journeys of more than 5,000 travellers. That came after two people were hit by trains on the network the night before.

Eurostar has warned passengers to expect disruption throughout the day on the line to Paris after a section of the French rail network was temporarily closed.
