July 27th 2024.
Over the weekend, the French railway company SNCF announced that they have made progress in restoring high-speed train services that were disrupted by acts of sabotage. These disruptions occurred just before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on the Seine River on Friday night. Despite the challenges, SNCF's agents worked tirelessly through the night in unfavorable weather conditions to improve the TGV traffic from the north, east, and west to Paris.
Thanks to their efforts, normal service has now been resumed on the Eastern high-speed line as of Saturday morning. However, on the North, Brittany, and South-West lines, it is expected that about seven out of ten trains will run with delays of one to two hours. SNCF has assured that they will continue to work towards improving the situation, particularly on the Atlantic axis, to ensure that weekend returns are not affected.
To keep customers informed, SNCF is reaching out via text message and email to confirm the status of their scheduled trains. Despite the disruptions, the company has confirmed that all transportation for Olympic teams and accredited personnel will continue as planned. This is a relief for many, as the sabotage incidents have raised concerns about security in light of Paris hosting the Olympics.
French authorities are actively investigating the sabotage incidents, but so far, no suspects have been identified or apprehended. It is a worrying situation, but SNCF is determined to ensure that the Olympic Games run smoothly and safely for all participants.
