Eurostar

Blackpool plumber Nigel Hardman says he has lost hundreds of pounds due to Eurostar service problems.

The rail operator says that repairs are now complete, but delays are expected until the end of Wednesday.

The firm hopes a fleet of up to 50 new trains will be up and running by the early 2030s.

A partnership by Uber and rail operator Gemini Trains would see trains stop at Ebbsfleet again.

The transport app will sell tickets for a Eurostar competitor which plans to also stop in Kent.

Eurostar says the delays were caused by an "overhead power issue" with several trains between Paris or Brussels and London affected.

Manufacturers in the county say relaunching a service from Ashford is important for their business.

Five years since Eurostar stopped offering services in Kent, calls are growing for it to return.
