Eurostar travel chaos strikes Paris fashion week Bailey, formerly a face of Marks and Spencer, appeared to be hoping for a smooth crossing. Less conspiracy theories. More wine and cheese... and Paris before breakfast please," she wrote. Designer Henry Holland was less optimistic, writing simply: "Eurostar DISASTER." Another passenger apparently caught up in the disruption added: "@Eurostar in future when having severe delays such as 6 hours late, your staff should be trained to acknowledge it! It is not a mere 5 mins! In a message to travellers, Eurostar apologised for "any inconvenience caused." It recommended those booked on cancelled trains exchange their tickets for travel on another date as "other services may also be subject to delay." A spokesman attributed the problems to a faulty EDF electricity cable close to the high speed line between the Channel Tunnel and Paris. It advised passengers to check the website for updates.
