Non-essential travel not recommended
Eurostar has started running trains again today (December 22), but services are severely limited.
Trains started at 7.30am this morning and will run until 6pm tonight.
Only passengers with tickets for travel on Saturday 19 or Sunday 20 December are being allowed to travel, on a first come first served basis.
Bookings for specific trains are no longer valid, and seats cannot be booked in advance.
Travellers with tickets for yesterday (December 21) or today will be eligible for travel on Wednesday (December 23), while those with tickets for Wednesday 23 or Thursday 24 will be allowed to travel on Thursday only.
Eurostar said: "We continue to strongly advise customers whose journeys are not essential not to travel and to change their tickets for travel on a later date or have their tickets refunded."
Eurostar said it will reserve a "proportionate number of seats" for travellers from Lille, Calais, Ashford and Ebbsfleet.
The Board of Eurostar has commissioned an independent review, to start immediately, into the problems it has experienced over recent days.
The review will be led by Christopher Garnett, former Chief Executive of GNER and formerly Commercial Director of Eurotunnel, along with Monsieur Claude Gressier, Inspecteur Général des PontsetChaussées.
Eurostar has blamed the cancellations and delays on severe weather conditions in northern France.
Eurostar said: "As we suspected, the acute weather conditions in northern France have caused the disruption.
"Every year we carry out a ‘winterisation' programme of the entire fleet which to date has successfully protected our trains.
"We now know, however, that we need to further enhance the snow screens and snow shields in the power cars of the trains.
"We have already started making the modifications."
