On January 2, a train on the Paris-Clermont line was stranded overnight at Briare station due to a mechanical failure, causing significant delays for passengers. While some were able to board replacement buses, others had to wait for a second train that arrived 14 hours late. The line, known for frequent delays averaging over three hours every two weeks, has drawn attention to the aging equipment. The SNCF plans to introduce new trains by 2027, and affected travelers will be compensated 200% of their ticket price.
