The high-speed rail service is upside down in France as a result of an act of vandalism in southern Lyon
The state-owned railway company SNCF has stated early in the morning on its website that the situation of rail traffic is "very confusing" and that "many journeys are expected to be cancelled", although it has not provided figures.
An act of vandalism between Lyon and Valence forced this Monday to interrupt the circulation of this railway corridor, one of the most trafficked in France, and the northern part of the country used by the trains they get with Marseille, Montpellier and Barcelona.
The SNCF has posted the note on its website since early this morning, giving the impression that the state of train traffic was very confusing and that many trains would be suspended.
He has explained that the problems have been caused by an "act of vandalism on the high-speed line", which has caused traffic cuts between Lyon and Valence. Specifically, there has been a fire in the signal network between Lyon and Avignon, which has caused incidents. They have pointed out that some trains are using the old line, which means that travel is extended by two and a half hours.
The SNCF has asked customers who use the lines running through this corridor of the Rhone to postpone their journeys and ask if the trains they planned to take to the station will leave. They have been reminded that the money for the cancelled train tickets will be returned to them in full and they will be able to take the ticket free of charge for another date.
The company expects to resume normal on Tuesday morning.
