Belgian Rail Strike Hits Eurostar, French Routes

A rail strike disrupts Belgian trains from Sunday evening, March 8, through Wednesday, March 11, protesting pension reforms and austerity measures. Eurostar services face slight impacts on March 9, with cancellations and reduced frequencies; affected passengers can change tickets free. A general strike on March 12 threatens to paralyze air and rail networks, including Brussels Airport flights and SNCB minimum services.
