The day of Friday March 7 was long for travelers departing from the Gare du Nord in Paris. Departures were canceled due to the discovery during maintenance work, a 500kg bomb dating from the Second World War.
At Gare du Nord, the display has finally changed, Friday March 7 at the start of the evening: trains are again scheduled. On the panel, the network indicates having “Authorization to regain traffic”. A first relief of the day for travelers. This Friday morning, two kilometers from the Gare du Nord, a bomb of the Second World War was found.
All the trains have been stopped, blackening the quays of the world. No more departure or arrival were possible in the Parisian station. At the same time, behind a security perimeter, the police were preparing for demining by completing a district of Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). The A1 motorway and the North device have also been closed as a precaution. Without RER, the users were forced to fall back on the bus taken by storm. Eurostar passengers are still penalized this Friday evening. The whole network is expected to be 100% restored by Saturday, March 8.
