I am due to travel outbound from UK to Brussels via Eurostar on 13 August, and have heard the train to London will not be running due to strikes. I believe I can only use my interrail pass for connecting journeys in my home country on the day that I catch the Eurostar. The cheapest we can travel to London the night before will cost us (family of 5) £253 plus accommodation. Is there any way to cover this, through interrail, the striking rail company or travel insurance? We don’t have reservations for the connecting journey as they are not required.

Hi
In many cases, you will be able to take a later train or use an alternate route to arrive at your destination if your planned route is affected. To minimise the impact on your travel plans, investigating alternatives should be your first priority when a disruption occurs.
In the unfortunate event that your journey is affected by the strikes, you may contact customer service after the train's originally scheduled departure time to request a full refund of the reservation fee (booking fees are unfortunately non-refundable). Please keep in mind that we cannot offer special refund and exchange conditions prior to a cancelled train as the disruptions are subject to change, and you may ultimately still be able to travel. Cancellations and exchanges of Passes and seat reservations made in advance will follow standard procedure, as per our booking conditions.
Have a lovely day!
