The latest casualty of Brexit is the direct “Disneyland Express” from the UK to the Magic Kingdom, east of Paris.
For the past 26 years – with a brief interruption for Covid – Eurostar has been running high-speed trains from London to Disneyland Paris.
The Channel Tunnel train operator will abandon the route from 6 June 2023. Eurostar blames difficult economic circumstances plus the logistical implications of Brexit and said it was concentrating on the core cities it serves in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
This appears to be another example of the fallout from Brexit.
Good to see this is a gift that keeps on giving…..

"Oh no, how will we ever cope with this inconvenience? 
Meanwhile in the real world, normal people are worried about food and fuel prices. "
I think the OP was simply highlighting the fact that Eurostar is cutting back its services partly due to Brexit. I wouldn’t expect it to be peoples biggest concern at the moment but that’ still no reason not to acknowledge it’s just another unintended disbenefit of Brexit. Rather than focusing on the reference to Disneyland think of it more as further restriction on the UK population’s ability to travel abroad.

Exactly… like all stories there is more than just the headlines |

Almost as if instead of restricting the freedom of movement of hundreds of millions of Europeans, in fact we've restricted our own. |

Anyone who can get access to a cheap dinghy can come and live in the UK. I'm sure the same freedom of movement applies the other way around, if you are desperate to move to Romania. |
