Strike over pay temporarily closes down the channel tunnel
Travellers queue for the Eurostar trains at St Pancras Station in London, December 22, 2023
A STRIKE on Thursday by staff at Eurotunnel that paralysed dozens of Eurostar trains ended some six hours after it began, Eurotunnel announced.
Eurostar passenger trains were set to begin transporting passengers yesterday.
The unannounced strike came after union representatives at Eurotunnel’s French site rejected a €1,000 (£867) offer, and went on strike to press a demand to have it tripled, Eurotunnel said earlier.
