Overview
- The shutdown at Paris Gare de Lyon, which begins Thursday at 8:30 p.m., stops all rail traffic there until Sunday early afternoon for signal control upgrades.
- SNCF says about 60% of usual TGVs will run from Montparnasse, Gare de l’Est, CDG‑TGV, Marne‑la‑Vallée, Versailles‑Chantiers, and Austerlitz.
- Following Wednesday’s mudslides near Orthez, TER and TGV links between Bayonne, Dax, and Pau stay suspended until May 12.
- Cable thefts in Gironde cut service on Bordeaux–Blanquefort and Bordeaux–Libourne, with repair crews restoring traffic on staggered timetables.
- Early May works hit the RER B and Paris Metro Line 13, with full branch cuts, thousands of replacement bus trips, 600 staff guiding riders, and tests that prepare Line 13 for new trains and future automation.
