RER A: traffic resumes but remains disrupted this Monday morning after being interrupted on Sunday
The busiest line of public transport in the Paris region, which connects the region from east to west, was paralyzed on Sunday by a broken overhead line.
Dozens of passengers evacuated from the track, who got off an RER and were forced to walk along the railway in single file. This was the content of numerous videos that appeared on social media this Sunday afternoon, August 17, following an interruption to the RER A line between Val-de-Fontenay and Noisy-Champs. "Traffic is interrupted between Val de Fontenay and Noisy-Champs and disrupted on the rest of the line. This follows a power outage in Bry-sur-Marne," the RATP reported on X (formerly Twitter), before specifying that it was a broken overhead line near Bry-sur-Marne, requiring lengthy repair work.
The resumption of traffic, initially planned for around 10 p.m., ultimately could not take place before the end of the service. Repair work continued overnight, and traffic resumed around 6 a.m. However, it remains disrupted between Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy and Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Poissy, according to the RATP.
