They were already few and far between and the next one is two hours later....showing as full, but just going to have to jump on it!! It was supposed to be thwe 15:40 on Friday. Our 1640 train has been cancelled for tomorrow too. Also hoping to jump on the 1740 now but not sure how likely that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on 19.40 and only 20.40 after that. I can see them both being very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have booked the megabus at 23h as a contingency as I saw all further trains were full (£38 for 4 of us) but it did mean changing our hotel as original didn't have 24hr front desk, so now having to stay 2 different places. Bit of a pain but worst case scenarios are all covered, I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Our train from Paris CDG to Metz Ville at 1245 is currently on schedule. A few troopers left on the train at 1048 heading eastbound. The flight out of Malta was delayed by 45 minutes this morning. Apparently this was due to poor weather at CDG. It's currently overcast and around 12C. All seems fine at the moment in Paris with regards to planes and trains!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) We are on the 20.40 train from Paris on Friday, and so far I haven't heard anything to say that it is cancelled. No news is good news I suppose! Â Edited June 2, 2016 by Brummie Hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Made it to Metz.  No drama in the end, but skipped breakfast and caught the 7.40am to make sure. Not seen anyone else in town yet; maybe dodging rain showers.  Now checked in and needing a siesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a pain but worst case scenarios are all covered, I think! Not bothered. We are due to to land in CDG at 16.20 tomorrow and booked the 19.40 months ago. All indications so far (yesterday & today) are that it will run tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 We are on the 17:40 tomorrow from Paris to Metz. No idea what the script is if your train gets cancelled. Thankfully, not received an email so ours looks to be running as usual ! Will update on this if i get an email to say otherwise, quite lucky as we were close to booking 16:40 a few weeks back but didnt want to risk being late for train.  40 minutes between our flights in Amsterdam as well, what could honestly go wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a message from SNCF earlier........your 17:40 is DEFINITELY running. Just that 40 minute transfer to negotiate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must get Eurostar a dozen times a year and it's never that quick - unless you are 'Business Premier' Deecie? It's not the time or distance between stations I am worried about it is the chance that the Edinburgh train will be delayed. It is much stricter at Eurostar these days (understandable)Â and they absolutely close boarding 30 minutes before departure. I didn't have to cut it so fine and now Metz train is cancelled, have just been given another two hours waiting time in Paris! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East coast line was subject to big delays with overhead lines damage near doncaster. I was booked on 12.25 first class from newcastle to york then second class from york to london. Train cancelled so due money back ..git in train an hour later and its an hour and a half late but on the plus side bern first class all the way and free beer! Refund of fare due as well.
