Title: Leaves On The Line? No - Firemen! Post by: Bob_Blakey on October 25, 2017, 10:23:58 I reckon I can claim this as a first in terms of 'Journey Check-Reason For Delay' information.
Following a very pleasant long weekend in the city, which included (obviously) watching Exeter Chiefs defeat Montpellier Herault Rugby, I boarded the 1026 Montpellier > Paris Gare de Lyon service on Monday (23/10). Train departed 15 minutes late and we were then held for the best part of an hour just west of Nimes due to Firemen On The Line: https://twitter.com/Yanbarryml/status/922387813047390209/photo/1 (https://twitter.com/Yanbarryml/status/922387813047390209/photo/1) Eventually reached Paris 70 minutes late. Seulement en La France??? :) Title: Re: Leaves On The Line? No - Firemen!
