No trains have been running for around two hours on the Nantes-Redon and Nantes-Le Croisic lines. In question? A bale of straw that a TGV hit near Cordemais. According to TER Pays de la Loire, the obstacle slipped on impact under a train stopping the train.
A resumption of traffic hoped for by 5 p.m.
Verifications are still ongoing and are taking longer than expected. The Nantes company gendarmes are on site. Is this a malicious act? At this stage, the police are not able to say.
According to SNCF, traffic will not resume before 5 p.m.
