Jul 26, 2024

[Paris (France) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] The British prime minister is also in trouble due to the sabotage (attack) against the railway across France. I had no choice but to use alternative transportation.

Downing Street (British Prime Minister's Office) on the 26th changed plans for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to use the train to attend the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. We are going to use the plane instead of Eurostar,' the release said. Initially, Starmer was scheduled to attend the opening ceremony on a 'euro Star' connecting Britain and France.

From the morning of the 26th, various forms of 'sabotage (deliberate destruction of private property)' appeared on the TGV line, a French high-speed railway, including deliberate cable damage. The attack affected 800,000 rail passengers across France, including delays or cancellations. Also, Eurostar from London to Paris in the UK is experiencing a massive delay.

In a statement, Eurostar said "All high-speed trains to and from Paris are diverting to their old lines on the 26th, affected by systematic malign conduct in France that affected the high-speed rail line between Paris and Lille."This extends the driving time by about an hour and a half"
