Storm Nils: What disruptions in transportation this Friday?

Transportation in some regions of France is disrupted due to Storm Nils, which has recently passed through the country.

Storm Nils, characterized by unusual intensity according to MΓ©tΓ©o-France, struck France's western region from Wednesday, February 11th, causing ongoing disruptions in transportation as of Friday, February 13th. While the storm is moving eastward across Europe and no departments remain under wind alert, some transport services are still affected. The French national railway company, SNCF, reported that train services are disrupted on certain lines in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie regions. Passengers are advised to check their train schedules before traveling due to potential speed restrictions, route changes, or cancellations that may continue as recovery from the storm progresses. As the storm recedes from France, the focus shifts to restoring regular transportation services, but the residual effects of Storm Nils highlight the challenges faced by transport networks in extreme weather. These incidents underscore the need for effective weather preparedness and response strategies to minimize disruptions in the future.
