Quote:Eurostar service has restarted following a series of cancellations sparked when a person was struck and killed by a train on the English side of the cross-Channel line. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

Of Monday's 17 canceled services, seven went from London to Paris, four from Paris to London, three from London to Brussels and three from Brussels to London.

So one person gets themselves run over by a train and so we need to cancel 17 trains? Why? Shoveling the corpse into a body bag takes 20 minutes tops, what other work needs to get done so that the rest of us can go about our day?
How about the fact that they have comfortable, affordable, fast travel between Paris and London to begin with?
Hell of a lot better than Americans seem to be able to do.
