French national rail firm SNCF, which holds a 55% stake in the cross-Channel rail operator, said on Wednesday (31 July) that such are the ongoing uncertainties around the UK’s proposed departure from the EU, it could not guarantee service.
SNCF said despite taking all necessary measures to avoid a combination of “the most unfavourable factors” that would “likely culminate in a lengthy suspension of activity”, the group was unable to “guarantee its ability to continue its operations with interruption”.
