Door open to Disneyland Paris return in 2024, says Eurostar
James ChappleEurostar has left the door open to restoring its direct London-Disneyland Paris service in 2024.
It was confirmed on Tuesday (30 August) the popular service from St Pancras would end on 5 June 2023.
In a statement, Eurostar said it needed to focus on its "core routes" as it seeks to recover and rebuild its finances folling the pandemic.
It also cited the potential impact of the proposed EU Entry Exit system, which is due to come into effect next year.
The system is part of a package of tighter rules for travellers entering the bloc from non-Schengen countries and third countries. The UK became a third country when it exited the EU.
The operator, though, told TTG it would "revisit options" for the Disneyland route next year.
"We have taken the decision not to run the direct Disney service between London and Marne-la-Vallee in summer 2023," said Eurostar.
"While we continue to recover financially from the pandemic and monitor developments in the proposed EU Entry Exit system, we need to focus on our core routes to ensure we can continue to provide the high level of service and experience that our customers rightly expect."
"This decision applies from 5 June 2023, and as tickets are not yet on sale beyond this date, existing customer bookings will not be affected. We will revisit options for 2024 during the course of the next year."
