Services are returning to normal after a Eurostar train hit a wild boar that had strayed on to the track, causing delays as a safety inspection took place. A Eurostar spokesman said this led to minor delays to other services as temporary speed restrictions were put in place. The spokesman said: “The collision caused a few delays as the train was stopped to be checked. It is understood no one was injured but there has been no further information about the wild boar. While services appeared to be running as normal by 7.30pm, the company’s website still warned passengers of possible delays.
