Storm Domingos: passengers on a Paris-Toulouse flight stranded for one night on a train
Storm Domingos: Paris-Toulouse passengers stranded for one night on a train – (France 2)
Storm Domingos created inconvenience for SNCF travelers. Last night, a tree lying on the railway tracks caused a train to stop. 500 passengers spent the night on the rails.
11:30 a.m. Sunday, November 5, a regional train arrives at Toulouse station (Haute-Garonne). On board, passengers who left Paris on Saturday November 4 at the start of the afternoon took 21 hours to make the journey. Originally, an Intercités leaving Paris at 2:40 p.m. was delayed for a long time by the storm due to trees falling on the rails. In Allassac in Corrèze, the train was damaged in the middle of the night and could not leave. The passengers are disillusioned.
14 hours late
Assisted by civil protection teams, passengers will spend the night on the train, in the cold and with very little lighting. The train finally arrived at Toulouse station 14 hours late and with a lot of fatigue in the eyes of the passengers.
