Rail operator Eurostar said it would run a normal timetable to and from London on Friday (22 December), as well as offer additional trains “to enable as many passengers as possible to rebook their journey before Christmas”.
The BBC reports that Eurostar will put on two extra trains each day until Christmas Day to help deal with passengers who could not travel on Thursday. Affected customers have also been offered refunds.
All Eurostar and drive-on Le Shuttle trains were suspended on Thursday (21 December) after the industrial action was announced.
Eurostar apologised for being unable to provide its “usual service” on Thursday “due to circumstances outside of our control”.
Eurotunnel said it had reached an agreement with trade unions and apologised for disruption to LeShuttle, which transports vehicles through the Channel Tunnel.
“Eurotunnel management and trade union representatives have reached an agreement at the end of a day of strike action which led to the interruption of services,” it said.
“This agreement means that LeShuttle services have now restarted. Incidents of this nature are extremely rare.”
It added it would not be selling new tickets for travel on Friday. Instead, it will focus on those who have already have tickets.
