Travelers are on alert and facing delays at the busiest train station in Europe.
Paris' Gare du Nord rail station suspended all train traffic, both arrivals and departures, after the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb. The 1,100-pound bomb was found during overnight track maintenance in the middle of the train tracks about 1.5 miles north of the station, according to France 24.
French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot reportedly told Sud Radio there was «no fear» of an explosion. The bomb has since been successfully diffused, according to reports.
An estimated 500 trains were cancelled, impacting 600,000 travelers. On social media, masses of passengers were seen waiting for updates after train service was suspended.
Eurostar said all of its trains to and from the station—London-Paris, Paris-London, Brussels-Paris and Paris-Brussels—are suspended for March 7. The train operator told Travel + Leisure it expects «normal traffic» between Paris and Brussels, and Paris and London on Saturday morning.
Additionally, it plans to run two extra trains on March 8; «one leaving London to Paris in the morning, one leaving Paris to London in the afternoon.»
The European train operator is offering passengers to change their journey for a different day, or cancel and receive an e-voucher or cash refund. The exchange process will be completed within 28 days.
Gare du Nord provides service for over 700,000 passengers a day, and nearly 100,000 per hour during rush hour peak. The station is ranked as the largest in Europe by passenger traffic, according to Railway Technology.
