After a breakdown on line B yesterday, a breakdown has been affecting line A of the Toulouse metro this Thursday evening since 4 p.m. Several escape handles were pulled.
The days follow one another and are similar, much to the dismay of Toulouse metro users for two days. After the incident which paralyzed traffic on line B during rush hour this Wednesday January 8 in the morning, it was line A which was interrupted this Thursday.
The total shutdown of the line was announced shortly after 4 p.m. by Tisséo, the Toulouse transport authority. It was explained by “a technical problem on a train between the Jean-Jaurès and Capitole stations”. In detail, Tisséo spoke yesterday of “abusive use of several evacuation handles”, leading to the evacuation of several trains, or nearly 500 people. “This requires lane recognition each time,” indicates Tisséo management.

Metro line A is partially interrupted due to the improper use of escape handles in several trains for an indefinite period. The stations not served are: Patte d’Oie, Saint Cyprien – République, Esquirol, Capitole, Jean-Jaurès, Marengo-SNCF, Jolimont, Roseraie, Argoulets and Balma-Gramont.
To compensate for this technical incident, which could be malicious, Tisséo invited travelers to continue their journey with the L14 bus, extended between Marengo SNCF and Balma Gramont, and line 13 which serves the Bagatelle, Mermoz, Fontaine Lestang and Saint-Cyprien stations. .
In Marengo, around 7 p.m., the Lineo L14 and replacement buses were crowded.
