A spokesman for the company said it was also looking at the possibility of sending British staff to man the terminal in France if necessary.
The company said it still hoped to run a full service over the weekend.
The news came as hundreds of rail passengers were told to brace themselves for significant disruption to services across a large part of England tomorrow.(FRI)
Train drivers staged the first of two 24-hour strikes yesterday in a row over pay.
Aslef said the walkout was “solidly” supported by its 300 members on First TransPennine Express (FTPE), hitting routes across the North of England.
The drivers are set to strike again on Friday, causing more travel misery for passengers, including music fans going to this weekend’s Leeds Festival.
The company, which runs trains between Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, York, Sheffield, Doncaster, the North East and the Lake District, plans to operate an amended timetable.
