Eurostar strikes by RMT and TSSA suspended for talks

The RMT said the strike halt was to allow "further, detailed negotiations after some progress in talks".

And the TSSA says it "has reached an agreement in principal" about work rosters at the centre of its dispute.

Although the RMT says it will now hold "further, detailed negotiations" with Eurostar, it maintains that the current dispute remains "live at this time".

AND

Eurostar confirmed to the BBC that the cancelled services on Sunday and Monday would not be reinstated, as passengers had all now been fitted onto alternate services.
