The Channel Tunnel high-speed train company will not be operating to and from the Belgian capital, with a reduced service starting and finishing at Lille in northern France.

Eurostar has also had to cancel one of last night’s London to Brussels services, which had been due to leave St Pancras at 7.34pm. In addition, last evening’s London-Brussels 6.04pm train departed 30 minutes later.

Eurostar services between London and Paris are unaffected.
