Overview
- A person was struck by a train between Mâcon and Le Creusot on Wednesday evening, interrupting traffic on the high‑speed corridor.
- SNCF halted movements between 7:30 p.m. and 12:45 a.m., rerouted services over classic lines, and reported no train cancellations.
- Two TGVs from Lille and Brussels reached Montpellier around 5:30 a.m., each arriving more than 7 hours 30 minutes late.
- Network effects included about five hours of arrival delays in Lyon, a 220‑minute delay for a Nice–Paris train at Gare de Lyon, and substantial late arrivals in Marseille.
- By early Thursday, Paris Gare de Lyon displayed normal departures and arrivals, while SNCF could not yet say how many trains or passengers were affected and local outlets reported the person had died without official confirmation.
