EUROSTAR DROPS MARSEILLE SERVICE UNTIL 2022
Eurostar has confirmed to Modern Railways that it will not operate its London to Marseille service this year or in 2021 ‘because of the uncertainty around what travel restrictions and safety measures will still be in place’. The winter ski-train service to Bourg St Maurice will also not run in 2020/21. The removal of existing long-distance services doesn’t bode well for the introduction of new London to Bordeaux services planned by SNCF (French Railways) for introduction by 2022 (p15, April issue).
