Paris: The suicide by a train driver on the job has caused widespread delays in France's rail traffic, operator SNCF said Wednesday.
Some 3,000 train passengers have been affected by delays in services between Paris and southeastern France that started Tuesday and spilled over into Wednesday.
Around 10 high-speed (TGV) trains were delayed by up to five hours Tuesday after the suicide on Christmas Eve, an exceptionally busy time for travel.
The prosecutors' office in Melun, southeast of Paris, told AFP that the driver appeared to have jumped to his death from the moving train.
His body was discovered later near the tracks.
