It was the bad idea of the weekend. An English passenger wanted to board the Eurostar on Sunday bound for London with a shell in his luggage, reports The voice of the North. The facts occurred at Lille Europe station and this would not be the first time, according to our colleagues, that customs officers have found this type of item in the luggage of a subject of his majesty.
As a result, the boarding was immediately stopped and the deminers were called. Fortunately, the shell was no longer loaded and presented no threat. The passenger would be a fan of military objects. As for traffic, it was severely disrupted, even for TER and TGV. The train finally left three hours late.
