Trouble for OL supporters. After the Lyonnais’ victory against Olympiakos (2-0) this Thursday, September 26, it was very difficult to return home by public transport from the Groupama Stadium in Décines.

The T3 and the Villette Sud tram shuttle suspended

The T3 tram and the tram shuttle to Villette Sud were suspended shortly after 11 p.m. and the whistle at the end of the match. To get to Lyon Part-Dieu, it took around 1h30 by TCL compared to 25-40 minutes usually.
