London – Eurostar trains in London, including all trains that go north of France, they stopped abruptly on Friday morning after an unexplained bomb was discovered dating from World War II near the roads, authorities said.
The inexplicated ordinance was discovered at approximately 1.5 miles north of Gare du Nord in Saint Denis, an area north of Paris, where the Stade of France, the National Stadium of France is located, and where dozens of Olympic events were held, including the closing ceremonies, last year.
“The traffic is interrupted between Paris Gare du Nord and the Plaine Stade France in both directions and interrupted in the rest of the line. Traffic will not resume until the middle of the afternoon, after the formal authorization of the authorities,” said the National Train Operator of France SNCF in a statement on Friday morning. “If possible, we invite you to postpone your trip.”
The reasoned reason was due to the “intervention by the police” after the discovery of an unbelievable bomb of World War II near the clues of Paris Nord, SNCF said.
The passengers wait inside the exit room as the traffic has been interrupted at the Gare du Nord train station after the discovery of an unspected bomb that goes back to World War II to 2.5 km (1.55 miles) of the train station, in the middle of the train tracks, France, March 7, 2025.

Gare du Nord in Paris is the most busy railway station in Europe for the number of passengers and served more than 211 million people only in 2022.
You could see dozens of passengers waiting at the station with their luggage while seeing the trains that were canceled in the passenger information boards.
It is not clear how big the ordinance is or how long it will take to the authorities to clear the area before regular services resume.
The research is currently in progress.
