RMT members working for Eurostar at StPancras have announced a 24-hour strike for July 28.
RTM is complaining about the overcrowding at StPancras when Eurostar services are delayed or even at weekends when the station cannot cope with passenger volume.
Eurostar’s original Alstom trainsets accommodated 750 passengers. The newer Siemens trainsets can carry 900 passengers which is equivalent to two A380s.
There have been even worse scenes of disruption/confusion at Paris Nord recently.
