This Saturday, October 29, a train failure connecting Lyon to Paris caused a mess among travelers as other trains were hit and delayed. This breakdown would have occurred around 15:00 in Dijon. “In the train, the slightest hiccup can have a significant impact. This breakdown had an avalanche effect on other trains, “says Nabil Djaafer, chief of staff of SNCF Voyageurs for Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The latter specifies that a total of five to six trains were delayed, including one with almost three hours late. “The situation was resolved in the middle of the evening, around 9pm,” the manager said.

However, the SNCF teams were heavily mobilized this All Saints weekend. “We’ve doubled down on some trains. We have offered between 2,000 and 3,000 more seats in Burgundy Franche-Comté for the whole weekend on TER trains ”, indicates Nabil Djaafer, who adds that the teams will also be“ vigilant ”on returns this Tuesday. “With the cost of energy, the frequency is higher than we usually know. “
