Pbadengers complained of long queues

Eurostar has asked pbadengers to travel from Paris to London only "if it is absolutely necessary".

His services suffered major delays, long waiting lines were formed following a strike by French customs workers.

Four trains were canceled Sunday and three more will not run Monday.

The company indicates that tickets may be changed for free or refunds may be requested.

"We recommend not to travel except in case of absolute necessity," Eurostar told pbadengers on its website.

Customs officers demand higher wages and better working conditions.

They also want to have more staff who, in their opinion, will be needed after Brexit, to help treat British citizens who will no longer have EU pbadports.

The strike will last until March 19th.

Pbadengers complained on social media of long lines in Paris.

Catherine Hope tweeted that it had taken her four and a half hours to clean up all the queues.

Another pbadenger said he waited two and a half hours.

Eurostar indicates that delays are on average two hours and that they expect similar delays on Monday.

Last week, French unions representing nearly 17,000 customer clients rejected a 14 million euro payroll bid presented by the government, saying it was not enough.
