Flooded railway tunnels forced the cancelation of all services on Saturday linking Britain to Europe, operator Eurostar said. It is the second time Eurostar services have been hit over Christmas, after a last-minute strike earlier in December caused major disruption. The latest cancelations come as the UK braces itself for a bout of severe weather, with heavy snow and rain expected. In southern England, a “spell of strong and gusty winds will move east across England and Wales, bringing some disruption to travel and services,” the warning said. Gusts of 45-50 mph of wind will blow widely across affected parts of southern England and Wales with the strongest gusts forecast for coastal areas.
