A quarter of Eurostar trains were cancelled over the weekend after arson attacks disrupted France's high-speed rail network. The coordinated attacks occurred ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, affecting travel to and from the UK, Belgium, and within France. Eurostar urged passengers to postpone trips, with delays of up to three hours expected. The disruptions impacted 800,000 travelers, including Team GB athletes and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who flew to Paris instead. Repairs are underway, but the disruption is expected to last through Monday.
