Rail disruption in France today.

Just in case anyone missed it there is a huge amount of rail disruption today in France due to some malicious. Likely to rumble on a bit with cancellations and big delays. Check SNCF for specific train if you are travelling.

France trains: Arson attackers targeted rail network's 'nerve centres', French PM says, as services slowly resume

Some 800,000 people are expected to be affected by delays, with a quarter of Eurostar trains hit.

I saw that the relatively fast trains east of Paris, Normandy and towards Lyon and Marseille are impacted as well as trains to and from London.
Do expect the UNEXPECTED in everything including flights through France given the tense situation and the Olympic Games.

People who have TGV tickets for today and the coming days will probably have received an email from French Rail.

For others: The TGV trains from Paris Montparnasse are affected - they are cancelled or run with long delays. The train from Bayonne to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is running as usual.

Below are the real time departure boards for Bayonne and for Paris Montparnasse - check the SNCF website or app to stay up to date and informed.

Thank you! Yes I have a booking Sunday from Strasbourg to Paris (and quite a few new week), meeting sometime who has a Eurostar booking from London to Paris on Sunday. Hoping for a good outcome though have booked a Flixbus as contingency! The search by station is very handy.

Eurostar has certainly stated cancelling at least up to and including Sunday so check your inbox if you are travelling!
