Paris | The discovery of an unexploded World War II-era bomb near the tracks severed Paris’ high-speed rail links with London and Brussels on Friday, dashing travellers’ weekend getaway plans and causing cascading disruptions to scores of other trains to and from France’s busiest railway station, the Gare du Nord in Paris.
Eurostar, operator of the sleek speedy trains that usually make rail travel between the UK and the continent a breeze, announced the cancellation of all its services to and from its hub in the French capital.
