France: Track fire prompts rail service suspensions in Toulouse April 24

Event

A railway track fire between Toulouse Matabiau Station and Saint-Agne Station prompted rail service suspensions on April 24. Rail services between Toulouse and the towns of Pau, Auch, and Latour have been suspended due to the fire, which damaged railway cables and was reportedly set deliberately. Normal rail service is not expected to resume before 12:00.

Rail disruptions will likely persist after services are restored. Increased demand for alternative forms of transport is likely, which could lead to congestion and further delays.

Advice

Check public transit schedules for possible service changes. Allow additional time for travel.
