Gare du Nord Train Service Halted After WWII Bomb Discovered

A WWII-era unexploded bomb found on railway tracks in Saint-Denis has disrupted train operations at Paris' Gare du Nord, with demining efforts underway.

Train services at Gare du Nord, including TGV, Eurostar, RER, and TER lines, are completely suspended following the discovery of an unexploded WWII bomb.
The bomb was uncovered during overnight construction work in Saint-Denis, approximately 2.5 kilometers from the station, on the railway tracks.
Authorities have deployed bomb disposal experts to secure and remove the explosive, with no confirmed timeline for resuming train operations.
Key commuter lines, including RER B and D, and regional Transilien lines H and K, are heavily disrupted, with trains rerouted or terminated at intermediate stations.
Travelers are advised to postpone their journeys as delays and cancellations are expected to persist throughout the day.
