PARIS - The Gare de l’Est train station in Paris suffered a total traffic shutdown early on Tuesday after a signalling malfunction that officials said was caused by vandalism.
A fire broke out at a signals point during the morning rush shortly before 8.30am in what was first thought to be an accident, but then turned out to be arson, they said. “According to early findings, we can say this was a fire set deliberately on the electrical cables,” a spokeswoman for rail operator SNCF told AFP.
The Gare de l’Est is a busy commuter station and the starting point for long-distance trains to eastern France, Germany and Luxembourg.Fast TGV trains to Nancy, Colmar and Reims, as well as Frankfurt in Germany, were cancelled or delayed, according to the station’s electronic departures display.More On This Topic
