Travel websites as France suffers winter delays

PLUNGING temperatures and freezing weather conditions are having a terrible impact on people's travel plans to France.

The Channel Tunnel is facing problems after a number of Eurostar trains broke down, ferries have also been delayed and a number of airlines have cancelled flights.

Fortunately by Monday and Tuesday daytime temperatures should be heading upwards and most travel problems will be eased.

Can you tell me whether there are any web sites with LIVE departure information from Paris Gare de Lyon over the Christmas period?

Thanks

Thanks Craig - exactly what I needed

Unfortunately Eurostar has cancelled all trains on Sunday so we may not even make it to Paris on Monday!

All the best, Craig

Very useful, thanks Craig and the others. I was reflecting earlier that we get more info in the UK about the weather in the USA than we do about Europe. Weather Underground is also a very useful site. Joyeux Noel et Meilleurs Voeux a tous.
