The operator has said that two services a day will not operate between Monday 22 June and Thursday 25 June.

Cancellations include the 1.31 pm on 23-24 June, the 6.08 pm on 24 June, and the 3.31 pm and the 8.08 pm on 25 June.

The news comes as both France and the UK issue red heat alerts.

London will hit highs of 36C on Tuesday and Thursday, and 37C on Wednesday. Paris, meanwhile, will see temperatures of 37C on Wednesday and 39C on Thursday.

What to do if your train is cancelled

Passengers affected can exchange their booking for free to travel in the same class at a different time or date.

Alternatively, you can claim an e-voucher, which is valid for 12 months, or get a refund. Refunds take up to 28 days to process and do not include booking or exchange fees.

You can find all the details on the Eurostar website.
