Difficulties on Breton SNCF lines on this Thursday, November 21, while the region is swept by the Caetano depression is its violent winds, at more than 120 km/h in several Breton towns, Quimper and Lorient in particular.
Trains are blocked between Lorient and Auray this Thursday afternoon, after a tree fell on a catenary in Hennebont. There is no more power supply. SNCF teams are on site, but trains should not run towards Rennes before 5:30 p.m. Delays are estimated at two hours. Passengers stuck in the trains are “warm” provides direction, these trains being electrified. Certain trains such as the Quimper-Rennes at 3:57 p.m. or the Lorient Vannes at 4:20 p.m. are canceled.
Another concern, on the TERs in the north of Ille-et-Vilaine, drivers must reduce their speed, as a result regional express trains are 20 minutes late on the Rennes-Saint Malo line (those which are not impacted by the strike movement).
Other delays have been reported on trains between Paris and Brittany due to bad weather in Pays-de-Loire and the Center region.
