Two hours before taking the train which was to drive him to Paris- Gare du Nord, Rabeindza, a 31-year-old Lyonnais on vacation in Orry-la-Ville in the Oise, knew that his return to Lyon would be more complicated than expected.
A bomb of the Second World War was indeed discovered near the Gare du Nord, the trains have been stopped since Friday morning. The resumption of traffic in degraded mode was hoped for in the afternoon.
“I learned what was going on by going to the station to take a train for Paris, I consulted the application of the SNCF and I saw that there was no train for Paris-Gare du Nord,” said Rabeindza, supervisor in the national education and living in the 8th arrondissement of Lyon.
“I had to take my TGV for Lyon at 2:14 p.m., but given the circumstances, I changed my reservation to take the train at 4:30 p.m., which cost me 40 euros and I hope I will arrive in time!” Explains the Lyon traveler who, at 2 p.m., was still in Orry-la-Ville, where he was waiting for a Uber.
“With my friends, we ordered a Uber who must arrive for a minute to the other for a minute to take us to Paris, where we can take our trains,” he says, “but I saw that there are traffic jams, so I hope not to miss my train”
