On July 26, 2024, the SNCF reported multiple acts of sabotage affecting the high-speed train lines in France, including the LGV Atlantique, Nord, and Est.
The attacks involved intentional fires aimed at damaging railway installations, leading to significant disruptions in TGV services.
While some trains are being rerouted, many will be canceled, causing chaos for travelers heading to Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games.
The SNCF is currently investigating the incidents and has increased security across the rail network to prevent further attacks.
Passengers are advised to check their train status before heading to the station, raising concerns about the safety of critical infrastructure during major events.
