    Specifically Eurostar - not SNCF what any reasonable person means if they’re talking about “French Rail Lines”.

      Where are you getting that from? The article you’re commenting on say otherwise:

      France’s state railways company SNCF called the overnight disruption a “massive attack aimed at paralyzing the high-speed line network.”

      Similar article from The Standard

      They were focused on the TGV high speed train network which covers the whole of France, and which is particularly busy at this time of year.

      Eurostar’s Brussels-Lille-London trains are not affected.

        A misunderstanding it’d seem - Eurostar was complaining about delays on their London-Paris route and I misread it as being on the exclusive sections of track.

    Trains are so vulnerable to sabotage, one bit of damage and the whole network is fucked.

    Is there any idea who did this? Scary there are so many possibilities
