Several Eurostar trains between Paris and London were cancelled Friday after a massive sabotage attack on France's high-speed rail network, the company said.
"All trains departing and towards Paris will be diverted onto the normal line on Friday," Eurostar said on its website, meaning they will take an extra 90 minutes on a route that usually takes around two hours and 20 minutes.
