France travel disruption to last all weekend after arson attacks | BBC News

Hours before the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics, coordinated arson attacks on three lines of the high-speed TGV network on Friday caused chaos for travellers.

French rail company SNCF has warned that disruption from Friday's sabotage against the country's train network could last until the end of the weekend.

In a statement issued on Friday evening, SNCF said traffic "would improve" on affected lines on Saturday thanks to the work of thousands of rail workers.
