Jean-Pierre Farandou, CEO of SNCF, announced that the Bordeaux-Toulouse rail line will remain closed for several days due to severe damage from heavy rains earlier this week. He described significant repair work needed after flooding caused a ballast collapse and a TGV derailment. Farandou called for government funding to improve railway resilience against climate-related events, emphasizing the need for updated infrastructure to adapt to changing weather conditions.
