Fire on the Lausanne-Paris TGV train on Tuesday
William Rijault was on the TGV late Tuesday morning. He reported on Twitter everything that was happening on the TGV.
The Post contacted William Rijault, who spoke quietly so as not to panic travelers. Here are some excerpts from the conversation:
«"the train is stopped at Brie-Comte-Robert, in Seine-et-Marne"»
«"There was an announcement telling us that carriage number 8 was on fire. We are stuck on the TGV. The SNCF has forbidden us to quitter les wagons. C’est plutôt flippant. Nous attendons »
« il n’y a pas de fumée ni de flammes mais ça pue»
«"Next to me, there is a group of Chinese people returning from Switzerland, they are calm. The other travelers are anxious. I don't want to speak too loudly or too much so as not to make them even more anxious... »
«I remain calm, I have no choice.»
A few minutes after his interview with Le Post, William Rijault published another message on Twitter: «"Mr. Controller, open the windows.".
La SNCF parle d’un « léger dégagement de fumée dans le moteur » sur son site Internet:
« En raison d’un léger dégagement de fumée dans le moteur, les rames TGV jumelées 9284 et 9264 Berne8 h 31/Lausanne n9 heures 22/Paris Gare de Lyon 13 heures 03 sont annoncés avec une heure de retard ".
