Arsonists have carried out attacks on France's high-speed train network causing major travel disruption ahead of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

With the games set to get under way amid an unprecedented peacetime security operation, the state-owned railway operator SNCF said fires had been set at installations along the lines connecting the capital with cities such as Lille in the north, Bordeaux in west and Strasbourg in the east.

It said timetables would be severely impacted over the weekend and has urged all travellers to postpone their journeys. Eurostar has also said services between London and Paris were being diverted, with several trains cancelled and journey times increased by 90 minutes.

    Not a fan of the Olympic organisation. However, I’m sure most in France were looking forward to celebrating their country on the world stage & watching the worlds best athletes compete. It is so disappointing this has happened. Hope all in France remain safe. Best wishes to the French from here in UK.

    Are these the same persons who are burning chirches ?
  • @krsmovie1939
    Whoever is behind this sabotage, they really knew what they were doing and where. I won't be surprised if these were some French railway workers who got an excellent knowledge of the whole system of trains.

    With Macron France has become completely a chaos

    No description of the arsonists? Surely it’s not the peaceful cult again…

    The whole Paris olympics, just problems everywhere. Not feeling the vibe this year.

    Let the games begin . But I have a feeling it's going to be more like gladiator

    Maybe it was just workers having accidents? Or is that only when it has a spire?
