We recommend that you do not attempt to travel to or from the Netherlands until 3rd July. Instead, please cancel your journey or postpone it to a later date.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The power failure has also caused disruption to all rail services in and around the Dutch city.<\/p>\n<p>Customers with affected journeys can exchange their booking for a different train, for a fee.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, affected travellers can cancel completely and claim an e-voucher, which must then be redeemed within 12 months of the date of their original journey.<\/p>\n<p>They can also cancel and claim a cash refund for the value of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Those affected have three months from the date they were due to travel to claim.<\/p>\n<p>The area around Rotterdam Centraal is expected to have power restored on the evening of July 2, local media has reported.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Eurostar said: \u2018Eurostar services are experiencing disruption across the Netherlands due to an infrastructure issue near Rotterdam, where a fire at a substation caused a loss of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a result, Eurostar trains are subject to significant delays and cancellations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tLatest London news\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>To get the latest news from the
