In the evening on Monday, the SNCF chained setbacks on its lines in the East, causing significant delays. In question, a breakdown near Nîmes and a wild boar struck in the Yonne.
Difficult evening for SNCF users, as for agents, who had to adapt, on the night of Monday March 21 to Tuesday March 22, to a series of events making the movement of trains particularly complicated. If it usually takes three and a half hours to get from Marne-la-Vallée, south of Paris, to Montpellier, travelers will have taken a total of 11 hours tonight to make the trip.
This route was not the only one to have been seriously disrupted, reports France Bleu this Tuesday morning. Indeed, it will also have taken travelers to make Paris Grenoble, twice the usual time.

The reason for the many delays of the night, a breakdown on a TGV, which required that the passengers be disembarked. After this first incident, which had already caused delays, another train hit a wild boar between Lyon and Paris. The shock caused damage to the TGV.
Good evening, a TGV was damaged by hitting a boar. This forced us to divert your train to another route.
