Gare du Nord is the busiest train terminal in the whole country, passing around 700,000 people every day, according to the SNCF.
The discovery of a World War II bomb near Gare Du Nord station in Paris is causing authentic chaos in rail traffic in the French capital.
According to the SNCF, a company that operates the French railway sector, “an unlinked bomb of World War II was discovered near the lines”, about 2.5 kilometers from the season.
The discovery was made near Gare Du Nord, the most used and busy in the French capital, and where all urban, suburban, national and even international trains conflict, arriving at connections from cities such as London, Brussels or Amsterdam, among others.
Disruption is also affecting the circulation of the metropolitan, and one of the lines is in that same season.
On the Eurostar website, which also operates in the sector, namely in the links between London and Paris, cancellations of at least three trains are already confirmed, and the situation is expected to get worse.
Speaking to Sud Radio, Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot has already admitted that it will be a long and complicated day for railway connections: “It will be complicated all day. The idea is to try to start trafficking gradually from the afternoon.”
Gare Du Nord is located in northern Paris and is the busiest train terminal across the country, passing around 700,000 people every day, according to the SNCF.
The discovery of bombs of the Great War (1914-1918) or World War II (1939-1945) are still often discovered in France, but it is rare to be located in densely populated areas.
French authorities have not yet reported the type of bomb that was found.
