Even though I am a Remain supporter, and should in theory be ruefully happy to read stories showing we are now going to Hell in a handbasket, I am not sure about this. The story says they are keeping the number of seats roughly the same. I suppose the loss of jobs might not have happened if there hadn't been a very British coup in May?

After Marmite, the next institution under threat as a result of Brexit is Eurostar. The train operator is to cut one in 12 services from London St Pancras to Paris and Brussels, due to a “challenging environment”.
In addition, 80 staff are likely to lose their jobs.
Eurostar is expected to reveal which departures will be axed ahead of the new international timetable taking effect in December. If cuts are applied proportionately, two daily trains to Paris and one to Brussels will be removed from the schedules. Because the firm is rolling out new, larger trains, the overall number of seats is unlikely to be affected.
