Paris rail travel during Olympics, disruption
Hi everybody,
Hard to believe there's no thread here right now regarding the Paris rail travel disruptions due to vandalism/terrorism during the Olympics.
As I understand it, the rail damage and disruption is all basically on the side west of Paris; and that the rail to the east of Paris is unaffected (?).
So, for example, my wife and MIL are currently in Amsterdam, and they are scheduled to depart from CDG on Monday July 29th. Originally, they were going to take the train from Amsterdam to Paris on Sunday. That should be OK, right?
I really hope that they'll be OK to keep their Monday flight too!

Disruptions were everywhere, not just West. However the SNCF seems to have done an incredible job to resume services and as of today. only the West is still disrupted but those are delays mostly.

The Eastern side isn't too affected as some diversion routes remain available.
This is more challenging for North and West.
