This Friday morning, a personal accident took place near Massy. Trains to and from the west of France are severely disrupted.
This Friday, March 22, around 7 a.m., a personal accident occurred in Massy and strongly impacted the traffic of trains coming from and going to the west of France at Montparnasse station. A person was hit by a train between Massy TGV and Marcoussis.
Rail traffic was temporarily interrupted so that the police could intervene. The TGVs then fell seriously behind schedule. Traffic between Paris and Brittany was interrupted in both directions before gradually resuming. “In order to bypass the scene of the incident, TGVs from Brittany and Pays de la Loire take another route where the speed must be reduced. Consequently, delays of between 60 minutes and 3.5 hours for your INOUI TGVs and OUIGO traveling between Massy TGV and Marcoussis are to be expected”, indicated the SNCF.
For the South-West, we had to wait until 10:30 a.m. for it to restart. Up to 3h30 delays were also announced in this direction. “Trains coming from and going to the South-West are held up at the various stations along the route because major work was already underway on the conventional tracks at the time of the incident, preventing the use of this alternative route,” a statement said. then justified the SNCF. Travelers then expressed their discontent on Twitter, with some being stuck on stopped trains.
Other delays could be noticeable for the rest of the day, “while the situation recovers”. On SNCF connect, some early afternoon trains are already announced late. A complicated situation on a Friday, departure day for the weekend.
