France's train services are expected to return to normal on Monday, days after the arson attack on Friday. As per French Minister Delegate for Transport Patrice Vergriete, a complete return to normal is expected on Monday.

Speaking to French broadcaster BFMTV, the minister said - "A complete return to normal [service] is expected on Monday. In theory, train services will return to normal on Monday morning."

Hours before the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony, a major arson attack was launched on France's railway network. As per French national railroad company SNCF, the attack was an attempt to "paralyse the TGV rail network".

A total of three attacks were reported, resulting in the diversion and cancellations of many trains. A fourth attack was foiled by railway authorities.

While trains were up and running, there was a snag in the service and trains were up to two hours late. A total of 250,000 were impacted by the delayed services on Friday.

However, over the weekend, around 800,000 passengers are said to have been impacted by the delayed services.
