A day after France's TGV high-speed trains were sabotaged by vandals, the traffic is back to normal on Saturday, with the authorities fixing the signal stations and cables.
The National Society of French Railroads, (abbreviated in French as SNCF) assured that travel plans of teams competing in the Olympics will not be affected.
Engineers reportedly worked overnight to repair the sabotaged signal stations and cables that led to travel chaos on the opening day of the Paris Olympics 2024.
In pre-dawn attacks on Friday, a group of unidentified vandals damaged the infrastructure on the lines linking the French capital to nearby cities like Bordeaux, Lille and Strasbourg.
An attack on the line connecting Paris and Marseille was thwarted. The authorities are yet to identify the culprits and no one has claimed responsibility for the sabotage.
Traffic has resumed on the Eastern high-speed line at 6.30 am local time (10am IST). However, the South-West, Brittany and North lines face disruptions with around seven out of 10 trains delayed by one or two hours, said SNCF.
The train services on the North axis are expected to face delays on Sunday while the situation on the Atlantic axis might improve for weekend returns, according to the authorities.
