French train lines hit by ‘malicious acts’ disrupting traffic ahead of Olympics, rail company says.

Traffic Ahead of Olympics: On July 26, the day of the high-risk opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics, several “malicious acts” heavily disrupted traffic on France’s high-speed rail network, according to the national rail company SNCF.

Train travel across northern Europe was disrupted by a series of coordinated overnight incidents, according to the French national railway company SNCF. Journeys were affected between London and the continent, including travel through the Channel Tunnel to Belgium and across western, northern, and eastern France.

Hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which were taking place across France, government officials denounced the incidents, despite no immediate indication of a connection to the Games.

French authorities are investigating a major fire that broke out on a busy western highway, according to national police and local media reports.

Sports Minister Ameie Oudea-Castera stated that authorities are evaluating the impact on travelers and athletes, and ensuring the transport of all Olympic delegations to competition venues. In a television interview, she asserted, “Undermining the Games is undermining France, your own team, and your country.” The minister did not name those responsible for the reported vandalism.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez, speaking on France Info radio, said he would send police reinforcement to overcrowded train stations in relation to the SNCF incidents.

Passengers at London’s St. Pancras station were warned to expect delays of approximately one hour on their Eurostar journeys to Paris. Announcements in the departure hall of the international terminal informed travelers of a problem with the overhead power supply.
