CLEAN : French railway vows to save Ascension weekend after flood washes out tracks
"We are deploying all available resources to try and save the Ascension weekend," says Jean-Luc Gary, regional director for Nouvelle-Aquitaine, during a press conference in Tonneins (Lot-et-Garonne), regarding the resumption of TGV traffic after torrential rains caused a stream to overflow, washing away the ballast beneath the tracks over a ten-metre stretch and interrupting the Toulouse–Bordeaux–Paris TGV service (Footage by AFPTV via Getty Images)
