Aucun Eurostar ne circulait sur la ligne à grande vitesse ce lundi après-midi entre Paris et Londres, suite au décès d’une personne sur la ligne côté anglais. Sérieux retards et annulations sont à prévoir. 17 trains ont été annulés.                                                          No Eurostar train is operating on the high speed line this Monday afternoon between Paris and London following a death on the English side of the line. Serious delays and cancelletions are expected.

Un “accident de personne” est à l’origine de sérieuses perturbations ce lundi sur le trafic des Eurostar entre Paris et Londres. Une personne a été tuée après avoir été percutée par un train dans le Kent, une région du sud-est de l’Angleterre, “entre Ashford International et Ebbsfleet International” selon un communiqué publié sur le site Internet de la compagnie ferroviaire qui indiquait en début d’après-midi que “la ligne à grande vitesse est fermée actuellement“. Le trafic a lentement repris en début de soirée.                             A “tragic accident” is the reason for huge Eurostar traffic disruptions today between Paris and London. A person was killed after being hit by a train in Kent, in SW England, “between Ashford and Ebbsfleet” according to a communiqué published on the railway company website, which indicated early afternoon the closure of the high speed line. the traffic will slowly return in early evening. 

La plupart des liaisons de l’après-midi ont été annulées, comme l’indique le site anglophone du groupe. Eurostar conseille aux voyageurs de reporter leur voyage. Des retards importants sont également à prévoir.                                                                            Most afternoon links are cancelled, indicated the English group website. Eurostar advise passengers to check their proposed trip. big delays are expected.
Pour l’instant, 17 trains ont été annulés, au départ de Paris comme de Londres. Le trafic entre Londres et Bruxelles est également impacté, mais pas celui entre Paris et les gares françaises, l’accident s’étant produit côté anglais. La compagnie ferroviaire prévoit un “service normal” pour la journée de mardi.                                                                                  For the moment, 17 trains are cancelled, from Paris and London departures. Traffic between London and Brussels is equally impacted, but this is not the case between Paris and French stations. The accident is on the English side. The railway company expect “normal service” for Tuesday.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
