Paris Gare du Nord at 41°C

​Paris Gare du Nord last Tuesday. Another delay for the TGV from Brussels to Paris has just been announced. This is before the train broke down in the suburb of Saint-Denis and we all got stuck on a sweltering train for 4 hours. Temperatures inside the carriages raised to almost 50°C. People became unwell, others turned aggressive and tried to force their way out of the train. Shortly after 10 pm we all got evacuated and were brought back to Paris Nord where we arrived shortly after 11:00 pm, where there were no further services to Brussels, and we were stuck once again. At 2:00 am - and this was not due to a lack of trying - I managed to find a friendly Uber-driver… At 5:30, more then 12 hours after I was supposed to leave Paris I arrived back home – Paris, France.
