What happens if the last Eurostar is cancelled?

G

Planning a trip with a 4-day global Interrail pass and on the final day (27/04) will travel from Paris home to London.

If I make a passholder reservation on the last Eurostar to London that day, what will happen if the train is cancelled?

Seems that generally Eurostar will cover accommodation and book passengers onto a train the following morning, but I don't know whether this applies to passholders? Especially given that I wouldn't have any travel days left by the following morning?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Your pass will be valid the next day, don't worry about that. They will just accept the validity from the day you were booked to travel. 
 

They should provide accommodation if you need it. They don't always unless pushed, so if necessary you'll need to be prepared to pay and reclaim

That's good to know, thank you!

Do you know how likely it is I'd get booked on the first train the following day (Monday)? Any of the first three would get me home in time to start work the following day but otherwise I would have a problem...

You'll get booked on the next available service, so odd be fairly confident of one of the first three.

In theory, they should rebook you in a higher class, if no seats are available i your class, but they won't.

Did you ever challenge them on that?

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

No, I haven't needed to yet… 😀
