France: Train traffic to return to normal Monday
Rail traffic in France is slowly recovering after engineers worked through the night to restore signal stations and cables damaged by Friday's act of sabotage. Train traffic will be restored on Monday, the international media announces. Around 800 thousand travelers were affected.
Transport for the teams participating in the Olympic Games will be guaranteed, railway operators announce. According to the source, about a thousand workers have been mobilized to monitor the network, with 40 police teams and 50 drones in support. Due to the attack, rail traffic in Belgium, Germany and Great Britain was also disrupted.
The mayor of Croisilles, Gerard Due, said the attacks were also affecting other European countries, as high-speed trains also run to cities such as London and Brussels.
"It affects France, but also the UK. The high speed train also goes to London. It affects Brussels and all European countries. I think this is the goal, so that it can affect the entire democratic process of the country. Who is behind the attack? There's a lot of guesswork," said Gerard Due.
We remind you that on July 26, just before the opening of the Olympic Games, there was a massive attack on the train network in France. Thus, rail traffic was paralyzed as signaling points and cables were cut and burned.
