Os trains high speed transmission (TGV) France They resumed circulation on the Atlantic axis, one of the three affected by a sabotage operation that caused this Friday (26) the complete shutdown of this corridor that connects Paris to other French cities and also to the United Kingdom and Spain. The National Association of French Railways (SNCF) said in a statement that a third of the trains originally planned will come into service, and that the travel time will be extended by an hour and a half to two hours. The reason is that they will have to use the normal line, because the TGV line was deactivated due to the attack on the signaling installation, which was set on fire.
As for the other axes that were victims of sabotage, the SNCF reported that the northern one (which connects the French capital, for example, with London, Brussels, the Netherlands and the north of Germany) had to put several trips on cancel and delay all other trips. Operator Eurostar has subsequently canceled one in four train journeys scheduled from this Friday to next Sunday, and expects to return to normal only on Monday morning, according to the company in a statement.

The SNCF, which estimates that 250,000 people have been affected so far, will continue with repairs, warning that the disruption will continue throughout the weekend, which is why the number of people affected could reach 800,000. achieve. At the root of everything are the attacks that happened early on Friday, with the fire of the signaling installations on three high-speed corridors.
A fourth TGV corridor, the Southeast, which runs from Paris to Lyon, Marseille and Barcelona, was also attempted. However, in this case the sabotage was stopped because some SNCF employees surprised a group of individuals who fled in a pickup truck when they were trying to burn some equipment. The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Paris is centralizing the investigation that was opened in four crimes and is being managed, in addition to the usual law enforcement bodies, by the secret services.
Speaking to the press at the crisis cell installed in the Ministry of Transport, the French Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, appeared cautious and did not want to speculate on the circulating hypothesis that the actions could be in their work of a major leftist group. On the other hand, he emphasized that “what is clear is that this operation was prepared, coordinated, that critical points were attacked, which shows a way for the network to know to attack it”.
