France: Train disruptions reported between Valognes and Cherbourg, Manche Department, Jan. 12

Disruptions have affected trains operating between Valognes and Cherbourg in Manche Department on Jan. 12 due to what state-owned railway company SNCF described as a "personal accident" near Valognes. The accident prompted authorities to deploy emergency personnel to the scene and briefly suspend train service in both directions in the area, affecting at least six scheduled trains; train service was gradually resuming as of around 19:15. Officials did not immediately confirm further information regarding the nature of the incident.

Residual disruptions will likely affect trains operating between Valognes and Cherbourg over the short term, especially in the event that rail transport workers need to reposition rolling stock.
