Has there been any further development or resolution to the problem caused by Eurostar's new ticketing system?
The last I heard, in the late summer, was that by upgrading their systems (or, cynically, locking out a competitor?) Eurostar were going to prevent DB from selling Sparpreis tickets that included Eurostar trains.
DB today released tickets for 15 December onwards, and while I can see plenty of tickets through to London, they all fail at the payment stage, when an error message says one of the trains no longer has available seat reservations. Since each one was able to secure seats on connecting DB trains, I am assuming it is still the issue with Eurostar.
