PARIS - The operator of the Paris metro system on Wednesday apologised after hundreds of passengers on different trains were blocked underground in stifling temperatures at the height of the rush hour.
It said that five trains on the busy line 4 were stuck from 1725 GMT and had to wait underground between stations. All the passengers were eventually evacuated, the RATP said, with social media users showing images of them walking through tunnels to the next station. Mr Castex “has requested an internal investigation to determine the exact causes of this rare incident,” it added.
