AMcWhirterParticipantPassengers taking Eurostar to or from Brussels today are advised to either cancel or rebook for another date.
There are problems with the cables on the Lille-Brussels section of the high-speed line.
From what I can see, there are few if any trains running (and it’s not Eurostar but also Thalys/TGVs) and it’s unclear if or when the line will reopen today.

LuganoPirateParticipantI’ve just been reading about a very civilised way to travel to Holland with the Ferry from Harwich. Looks great and I’ll certainly try it next time I’m in the UK and going on to Rotterdam.

AMcWhirterParticipantHello LP – For decades the Harwich-Hook ferry service has been the best of all. But the rail links on either side the North Sea are not as good as they once were.
In days gone by, a section of the Rheingold TEE would meet the overnight ferry at Hook (in the morning) and passengers would be taken on from there right through Holland, Germany and into Switzerland.
Today there are just the connections to/from Amsterdam/Rotterdam and London Liverpool Street.
But now that Eurostar’s direct London-Amsterdam trains have been postponed, the Harwich-Hook ferry remains a valuable link.
