On Tuesday afternoon, Eurostar urged passengers not to travel after the High Speed 1 line from London St Pancras to Kent and onwards to France was closed. An explanation was provided by Southeastern, which tweeted: “The lines between Ebbsfleet International and St Pancras are blocked because of broken-down trains used in the overhead line repairs last night. “We are currently working to arrange an hourly train service between St Pancras and Ashford.” Early trains from London to Kent are either cancelled or still waiting to depart. The first arrival to London St Pancras from Paris, due at 8.30am, is running one hour late – “because of an animal on the tracks,” according to Eurostar.
