While the strike is disrupting traffic on regional lines departing from the Paris station, the discovery of a shell has completely interrupted the circulation of certain trains.
Traffic was interrupted on a rail line linking the Parisian station of Saint-Lazare and the nearby western suburbs on Tuesday, after the discovery of a World War II bomb in the Hauts-de-Seine, according to the SNCF, in full transport strike day.
“A shell was found on a construction site rue Raoul Nordling in Bois-Colombes“, tweeted the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture. This is the Bécon-les-Bruyères sector, according to a tweet from the SNCF, which adds that a demining team has been dispatched to the site.
The line affected is line L of suburban trains, on which only one in three trains was running on Tuesday because of the SNCF strike. Traffic is therefore interrupted between Saint-Lazare, La Défense and Maisons-Laffitte, until 4:00 p.m., according to the operator.
