PARIS (Reuters) - Travellers about to board a train from Paris to London on the day quarantine rules in Britain were due to lapse were upset on Monday by a last-minute decision to keep them, calling it "ridiculous," "cruel" and "incoherent."

Anyone arriving from France will have to quarantine at home or in other accommodation for five to 10 days, the government said on Friday, even if they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
