E-bikes are allowed, provided they are bagged and conform with size requirements.

But security at Paris Gare du Nord told them batteries were 'at risk of exploding' The batteries are worth more than 1,000 , so I complained to Eurostar and tried to get it to arrange for them to be transported.

It told me to raise a complaint with SNCF , the French national railway company.

Eurostar has apologised and offered to refund the extra costs incurred.
