Travellers hoping to spend New Year with loved ones in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, or further afield have had their plans disrupted following a day of chaos at St Pancras International in London.

Passengers have criticized Eurostar for poor communication regarding the status of train services, with some families left in tears after their trip to Disney was cancelled days before New Year.
