France ’s state railways company
has said that the country's high-speed railways have been targetted by several “malicious” acts on Friday in what has been described as “coordinated sabotage” to disrupt travel ahead of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. The acts have affected the Atlantic, Northern and Eastern high-speed lines, with damage caused to several of its facilities.
said one of the acts was “foiled.” Workers are onsite to oversee repairs, but several of the major trains have been diverted or cancelled, and says the interruptions are likely to last the entire weekend. The Rémi Train Centre Val de Loire has also said their train lines will be disrupted until at least Monday, with a fire near the tracks in Courtalain in northern France causing disruptions for travel to Paris. “We ask all travelers to postpone their trip and not to go to the station.” Disruption to the rail network comes at the worst possible time as the Olympic opening ceremony is scheduled to take place in just hours.
