Disruption to Eurostar services
Eurostar services between the UK and the Netherlands are severely disrupted following a fire near Rotterdam Central station.
Eurostar has advised passengers to postpone or cancel travel plans on the Eurostar in the Netherlands until at least 4 July 2026. Travel times are expected to be significantly longer due to trains having to take alternative routes due to fire damage.
If you are planning to travel between the UK and the Netherlands, check the latest information with your travel operator before you travel and the latest updates on the Eurostar website.
