Delays of over one hour are expected at Avignon TGV station in southern France due to a "personnel accident," which has significantly disrupted high-speed train services in the region. Travelers planning to take a TGV train to or from the southeast of France on this Friday are likely to face significant challenges. The incident occurred in the late morning and has caused "very disrupted" traffic in both directions for trains departing from and arriving at Avignon TGV, according to the French national rail operator, SNCF. Some trains are being rerouted, which is increasing their travel time. Delays for TGV Inoui and Ouigo trains in the area could reach up to one hour and ten minutes. The railway network teams are working to restore normal operations by early afternoon, the SNCF stated shortly after 13:00. When a person is struck by a train, all trains in the area stop immediately, and emergency services such as firefighters and police are called to the scene. A new driver is also brought in to replace the current one. A police officer arrives to investigate the incident, and only after these procedures are completed is traffic allowed to resume. This process ensures the safety of passengers and staff while the situation is fully assessed. Avignon TGV is a key station in the region, serving as a major hub for high-speed rail travel. The disruption has affected not only local travelers but also those connecting to other parts of France and beyond. As the investigation continues, more details about the incident and its impact on the rail network are expected to be provided.
