[HIGHLIGHTS] “The controller was as lost as us”: on the Perpignan-Paris train, arriving late in Paris at 4:38 a.m.

A TGV from Perpignan to Paris experienced a rare delay of more than 5 hours during the night from Sunday to Monday. The train was due to arrive at Lyon station at 11:18 p.m.

and was blocked shortly after Valence due to a personal accident in Saint-Georges-d'Espéranche in the Isère department. The TGV to Paris returned to the TER station in Valence to bypass the accident and reach Lyon in order to then travel on the high-speed route to Paris.
