France: Eurostar train services cancelled due to power supply system failure

Delays reached up to two hours – The incident occurred between Moussy and Longueau in northern France, leading to the cancellation of 16 services

Newsroom August 4 04:19

More than 16 Eurostar train services were cancelled today, and rail traffic was disrupted with delays of up to 1 hour and 50 minutes due to a problem with the power supply system.

Teams were dispatched on site to identify and repair the issue, according to SNCF Réseau, which told Agence France-Presse it was a “problem with the overhead contact line.”

The disruption occurred between the towns of Moussy and Longueau in northern France.
