Toni Mannion, a 38-year-old mother from Birmingham, shared her disappointment as she had eagerly anticipated taking her daughter Daisy to Disneyland Paris, an experience funded by the Make-A-Wish charity. Daisy, who suffers from a rare metabolic disorder known as Nonketotic hyperglycinemia, has complex needs that make alternative transport options difficult.
The unexploded device was neutralized by bomb disposal teams on Friday afternoon, allowing Eurostar services to resume by Saturday. Eurostar's chief safety officer, Simon Lejeune, expressed regret over the situation and its impact on travelers.
Ms. Mannion traveled to London on Thursday with Daisy, her infant daughter Lara, her mother, and a friend, hoping to create treasured memories during this special trip. "I cried, we all cried," she shared, emphasizing the importance of time with Daisy, whose life expectancy is uncertain.
While many Britons found themselves stranded, some managed to adapt. Vicky and her mother opted to extend their stay in Paris instead of panicking. "We're going to make the most of it," Vicky stated, mentioning they planned to explore the city further.
Other travelers voiced frustration over issues with the Eurostar app, which experienced crashes amid the chaos. Bob and Mavis from Nottingham faced difficulties booking their travel to Paris, resulting in unexpected hotel expenses in London.
Despite the unfortunate disruption, many remain hopeful that Make-A-Wish will successfully rearrange the long-awaited trip for Daisy and her family.
