There are still seats available. You'll just need to buy tickets from London St Pancras International or Ashford International and board or leave the train at one of those stations. Don't worry, the train will still stop at Ebbsfleet as normal but it might be worth allowing a little extra time, since it'll be busy.
There's only one train running directly from London to Paris: the Eurostar high-speed train. So that makes choosing the right train a bit easier! This train is seriously speedy. On average the journey takes 2 hours 28 minutes, at its fastest, 2 hours 16 minutes.

You travelled recently with them? They indeed do not check. But it is printed on the ticket (actually traveled by Eurostar sunday) that the ticket is only valid for the person named on the ticket. So while they usually not check, there's always a very slim chance they will.
Who can use the Eurostar Lounge? No, you can't buy a priority pass just for the lounge. However, you will have access to the Eurostar lounge, if you buy yourself a business class ticket for your Eurostar journey. Or if (like me) you are a frequent traveller on Eurostar and therefore have reached Carte Blanche status.

A Eurostar spokesman said the reason trains were being cancelled late was to help ease traffic to its customer service operation. In a statement issued on Monday, Eurostar's chief executive, Mike Cooper, said: “On behalf of everyone at Eurostar, thank you for your understanding at a difficult time.
While no Eurostar staff are on strike, signallers employed by SNCF (French Railways) are walking out. This has reduced the flow rate of trains in northern France. Passengers whose trains are cancelled can claim a full refund or rebook on another Eurostar service up to 60 days from the date of the journey.
