One of the busiest stations in France was evacuated this Thursday. ” I ask all passengers to evacuate the station by the nearest exits,” asked an agent from Montparnasse station into the microphone at the start of the afternoon.
On X (formerly Twitter), the account dthe N and U lines of the Transilien clarified that this disruption was due to “business forgotten by a traveler which requires the application of the planned procedures”.
An evacuation that lasted only a few minutes
According to The Parisian, the incident fortunately only lasted a few minutes before the passengers were able to return to the station. “It lasted a very short time and there was no impact on traffic,” reassured the SNCF, contacted by the daily West France.
At the end of July, travelers in transit in the Paris station which serves the west of France had to be patient, after delays following a technical problem. Signaling problems then seriously disrupted traffic.
