London - British police arrested a man
for blocking the railway line on Saturday after Eurostar, which
runs trains between London, Paris and Brussels, had to suspend
all trains in and out of Britain for several hours.
Eurostar said services would be able to restart following
the arrest, but recommended that passengers who could change
their travel plans should do so. Long queues were visible at
London's StPancras station.
Local media showed pictures of a man on the roof of the
station carrying an English flag.
The man was held for trespass and obstruction having spent
the night on the roof of the station, British Transport Police
said.
We have suspended all services to and from London St Pancras until 09:45 this morning, due to a trespasser on the tracks. We strongly recommend you not travel this morning and please cancel your journey or exchange ticket free of charge here https://t.co/heMbJBb0kr.
