Event
RATP warned on Tuesday, June 12, that service disruptions on the RER line B between Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse and Courcelle-sur-Yvette will likely continue for several days due to ongoing repair efforts. All rail traffic between the two stations was suspended after a passenger train derailed at approximately 05:00 (local time) on Tuesday after an embankment collapsed due to heavy rain.
