Disruption: Gare du Nord 25th August

[Peter Mugridge]

Someone I know has tweeted this evening ( about 18.00 UK time / 19.00 French time ) to say that his train was stuck outside Gare du Nord because of a fire in the station and the power being turned off.

I cannot find anything about this on the news websites and nothing has been on any of the gen groups I use, so I assume this was either a false alarm or a minor incident only?

Anyone know anything please?

I was there today. I left late afternoon and saw nothing out if the ordinary. Passed a TGV on LGV Nord stationary with smoke coming from the rear power car though.
