France is expected to announce imminently that it is lifting the general ban on British travelers.

Speculation, already rife, was further fueled last night when French politician Alexandre Holroyd tweeted: “Following numerous discussions with the government, significant reductions in border health measures will be announced very soon.

“More details here in the next few days.”

The encrypted tweet followed several vacation companies telling guests they believed the French ban on all Britons, except those who had a handful of “compelling” reasons to travel, was about to be rolled out. be deleted.

London-based Skiline.co.uk sent a marketing email saying: “We are expecting the French government to make an announcement on Wednesday to confirm that vaccinated British skiers can enter France from this Saturday 15th January. “

However, it now seems unlikely that an update will take place today, with French government spokesman Gabriel Attal only confirming that an announcement will be made “by the end of the week”.

Reduced rail services on South Western Railway

Rail travelers who rely on South Western Railway (SWR) are facing significantly reduced services from Monday 17 January.

The train operator serving the UK’s busiest station, London Waterloo, has just announced ‘a new temporary timetable, which will continue to ensure reliability for our customers and meet the needs of key workers, pupils and those who cannot work from home”.

The company states: “The spread of Omicron necessitated the need for a new schedule, with staffing shortages in SWR resulting in short-notice cancellations.”

But SWR was far less affected than other operators by the absence of train staff. Rather, it is an economic decision that reflects the collapse in passenger numbers since the last ‘work from home’ advice was announced.

Mainline services from Waterloo to Weymouth will drop from 10 cars to five at Bournemouth, while trains from Exeter will do the same at Salisbury.

Trains from Waterloo to Alton will be halved every hour, along with services on the Shepperton branch.

Additionally, SWR warns: “The last train of each day will be earlier than currently.”

World Health Organization says travel bans ineffective

After the French government said borders would remain closed to British travelers for a while, you might be interested in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) take on the travel bans.

Frankly, the UN body doesn’t think they’re doing much good. On November 30, 2021, as concern grew over the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the body said:

“Blanket travel bans will not prevent international spread, and they place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods.

“Furthermore, they can negatively impact global health efforts during a pandemic by deterring countries from reporting and sharing epidemiological and sequencing data.”

French government confirms travel announcement will be made by ‘end of the week’

A French government spokesman, Gabriel Attal, has confirmed that the current travel ban on arrivals from the UK will soon be lifted – but gave no idea when it will be announced or the requirements.

After the last meeting of the Defense and Security Council in Paris, M Attal only said that an announcement on the easing of restrictions will be made by the “end of the week”.

The news will disappoint many would-be travelers who were hoping an announcement would be made today, paving the way for holidays and family travel to resume by the weekend. This now appears unlikely.

British Airways launches new routes from London City

Barcelona, ​​Luxembourg and Thessaloniki will receive flights from London City Airport this summer, on British Airways subsidiary CityFlyer.

The routes will be operated by Embraer E190 regional jets – which are popular among travelers as they have 2 x 2 seats.

The Luxembourg link begins on March 27, with several services each day. The Barcelona route begins on June 19 with daily flights except Saturdays.

Thessaloniki is a strange destination as the weekly flight will depart on Saturday afternoon from June 18 and return early Sunday morning. The crew and the aircraft will spend the night in the city in northern Greece. The current curfew in London City prohibits take-offs and landings between 1pm Saturday and 12.30pm Sunday, to give local residents a break.

In addition, flights start to Milan Malpensa airport (replacing Linate, closer to the center). Services to Jersey and Guernsey are also back, on Mondays and Fridays from June 20 to September 2.

Tom Stoddart, Managing Director of BA CityFlyer, which will operate the new services, said: “As customers start planning their next summer getaway, we wanted to offer new routes to some of Europe’s most popular destinations.”
