Check Before You Travel

Today is not a good day for travelling on many levels. Firstly, forget your romantic weekend in Paris, Eurostar won't be running any trains today following yesterday's freight train fire in the Channel Tunnel. St Pancras is likely to be chocka full of disgruntled passengers so we say steer clear and check Eurostar's website for more information. Secondly, First Bus are striking over pay again so check with TFL before you leave for work to find out if your usual bus is even on the streets. Finally, if you're a holidaymaker stranded in town by the collapse of XL, you have our sympathy and let us direct you to our London on the Cheap post for alternative recreational suggestions.
