Eurostar to Ashford
We are planning a trip on the Eurostar from Paris to Ashford International (and on to Canterbury). I looked at tickets for the date of May 18 and found none available. Days on either side are available. What's going on? Could the train(s) be booked up?

Aaaargh!

It isn't because of it being booked up -- looks like no trains period on the Monday. Could be because of a planned strike?? I have no idea because trains are shown on Sunday and Tuesday.

Check with Eurostar on twitter or FB, send them a message to ask. There is a link on their website for scheduled engineering works/strike info etc but nothing for that date. There is also a quick link to timetables which is only until 16 May but does show train services on Mondays

At first I assumed it was just too early -- but it does show trains for the next day. So yes, twitter/facebook or just an e-mail is a good idea.
