Eurostar services have resumed following "unprecedented" flooding in a tunnel, causing travel chaos and cancellations. The unexpected disruption impacted thousands, with passengers stranded and holiday plans disrupted. The Met Office issues severe weather warnings for New Year's Eve, including gales and heavy showers in the south and southwest of the UK, potentially affecting road, rail, air, and ferry journeys. Flood warnings abound, with over 200 issued. Thames Water cites a "fire control system" as a possible cause. As celebrations approach, Southeastern and Thameslink predict continued disruptions, urging caution. Eurostar's return to service is expected but with possible delays.
