European rail operator Eurostar says customers with reservations will still travel on the same day when rail workers strike in a dispute over their work-life balance.


Staff will walk out from 00:01 UK time on 12 August until 23.59 on 15 August, and then for three days over the UK holiday weekend from 27 August.


The union says the dispute is over unsocial hours and duty rosters for about 80 train managers.


Eurostar said that on strike days, changes to its timetable will ensure all booked passengers will be able to travel on those days. Passengers affected will be notified in advance.
