Des passagers d'un TGV reliant Tours à Paris bloqués 5 heures à cause de cartons de macarons

Un TGV reliant Tours à Paris a été retardé de 5 heures après la découverte de colis suspect. - BFMTV

Les 480 passagers d'un TGV reliant Tours à Paris ce jeudi 12 septembre ont dû s'armer de patience: leur train est arrivé à la gare Montparnasse avec 5 heures de retard, à cause d'un colis suspect .

Ce TGV, parti de Tours à 17h17, s'est arrêté en gare de Vendôme vers 18h15, alors qu'il devait arriver à Paris vers 18h36. En cause, un signalement de trois cartons, déposés dans le train à la gare de Tours, et abandonnés par leur propriétaire.

Le train a dû être entièrement évacué. Les passagers se sont d'abord regroupés sur le parking de la gare de Vendôme, en attendant les démineurs. "On est sortis du train, après on a dû aller attendre sur le parking dans le froid", a expliqué un passager à BFMTV.

"Les gens ont été plutôt calmes"

Face aux températures, le maire de Vendôme a mis une salle à disposition des passagers, vers 20h30. "On a été au chaud, donc ça c'est top", souligne ce passager. "La mairie de Vendôme nous a mis dans une salle. On est bien, on est au chaud", abondent deux autres.

Des chauffeurs de bus et navettes locaux ont également ouvert des bus pour que les passagers puissent se réchauffer. "On a été contactés par la gendarmerie pour essayer de garder les gens au chaud (...) Tout se passe bien", a expliqué un chauffeur.

"C'était bien organisé par les voyageurs. Certains ont commandé des pizzas (...) Les gens ont été plutôt calmes, patients, compréhensifs", a décrit un passager.

• "Nous nous battrons": l'horaire du TGV Saverne-Paris décalé, des élus en colère

L'équipe de déminage, venue de Versailles, a constaté, vers 21h45, qu'il s'agissait d'une fausse alerte. Comme l'a appris BFMTV auprès de la gendarmerie, les trois cartons contenaient des macarons. Le train a donc pu repartir, et est enfin arrivé à Paris à 23h35.
