Breaking news on Sky news,due to unexploded WW2 bomb near Gare De Nord
This bomb - a biggie - was found on, or even buried under, the track during overnight work by SNCF. It's about 2.5 km from Gar du Nord, in Seine-St-Denis. So all trains using Gare du Nord have stopped, and I imagine a lot of stock is unable to enter service at all. Some services are starting short or being diverted:
Eurostar (Belgium/Netherlands): Marne-la-Vallée.
RER B : la Plaine Stade de France et Aulnay-sous-Bois - limited service only
RER D : Stade de France Saint-Denis - limited service only
Ligne K : Mitry - limited service only
Ligne H : Saint Denis - limited service only
Other TER: - mostly no service.
TGV: one an hour from Gare de Lyon

Just out of idle curiosity on my part: was it a German or a British bomb? We both bombed Paris, during the course of the Second World War.
