Southern France rail disruptions continue

Train services in southern France are slowly returning to normal after initial repairs by SNCF Réseau, but many restrictions remain in place, the railway operator said. Some lines are still out of service, and full recovery is expected to take time.

Avignon to Miramas route remains blocked

Rail traffic between Avignon and Miramas via Arles is still interrupted between Saint-Martin-de-Crau and Miramas, with no expected resumption until Thursday, October 29. This disruption affects both passenger and freight services on this route.

Avignon to Marseille route partially restored

The Avignon–Marseille route via Cavaillon is set to resume train services on Tuesday, October 27. This includes both passenger and freight trains, marking a step forward in restoring full connectivity in the region.

Miramas to Marseille route to reopen soon

The Miramas–Martigues–Marseille route will see the resumption of rail traffic on Wednesday, October 28. This will improve access to key cities in the area and allow for more regular train services to resume.

Freight traffic to resume at Gulf of Fos

Freight train traffic to the Gulf of Fos will return on Tuesday, October 27. This is a crucial step for the local economy, as the Gulf of Fos is an important industrial area.

Extended repairs expected

SNCF Réseau emphasized that due to the significant damage observed, additional work will continue for several days and, in some areas, for several weeks. This means that some disruptions may persist longer than initially anticipated.
