July 26th - Olympics travel chaos as sabotage strikes Eurostar

Listen on

Episode notes

As planned, I am at London St Pancras International station, the UK hub for Eurostar trains to Paris. I had intended to report on the great getaway to the Olympics, but sadly once again I am reporting on travel chaos – after sabotage on the high-speed line between Lille and Paris closed the main route.

Trains are heavily delayed and cancelled – though most get through eventually.
