Eurostar, the high-speed train operator, has made 30,000 tickets available at a special one-way fare of £89 to rescue passengers stranded by the no-fly crisis.

The deal is on offer from tomorrow until Sunday inclusive. It will apply to all standard class seats for one way only.

Chief executive Nicolas Petrovic, said: "We are doing everything in our power to help as many passengers as we possibly can at this difficult time. Given that the current situation looks set to continue for the coming days, we are putting on extra trains and making 30,000 seats available at a special price. We know that people are stranded across Europe and we want to do all we can to get people where they need to be."

Since flights were grounded as a result of volcanic ash from Iceland, Eurostar has put on 33 additional trains and carried 165,000 passengers - 50,000 more than were scheduled to travel during this period.

Over the last four days, passengers have been connecting with Eurostar services from destinations across Europe, including Germany, Spain, Italy and even as far as Greece.
