Eurostar makes masks compulsory for travel

Eurostar has joined an increasing number of transport providers in requiring its passengers to wear face coverings.

Announced today, from 4 May, passengers must wear a face mask or face covering at our stations and on board in line with guidelines announced by the French and Belgian governments.

"Please ensure you have a mask with you when you travel. Any type of mask is suitable as long as it effectively covers your nose and mouth".

If you don’t have a mask you may be refused travel on our services. We’d like to advise you that fines may be imposed in France and Belgium if you’re not wearing a mask.
