A landslide has blocked the France <> Italy route via Modane
Train services will be resuming from March 31st

Due to obstacles on the track (falling rocks), traffic is interrupted in both directions between Modane and St-Michel-Valloire.
This route is taken by the TGV and Frecce trains on the Paris - Lyon ↔ Torino - Milano route and by TER trains on the Lyon ↔ Modane route.
All trains which usually take this route are therefore currently cancelled, but it has been confirmed that the TGV services, operated by SNCF. will resume on March 31st - with the Frecce services, operated by Trenitalia, returning on April 1st.
Until these dates, ticket agents are offering alternative Paris ↔ Milano journeys, which involve connecting in Geneve, Lausanne or Zurich while Paris ↔ Torino journeys involve connections in both Milano and Zurich.
Though a bus replacement service has been arranged for the part of the journey between Saint-Jean de Maurienne and Oulx.
When looking up the journey on SNCF Connect most of the Paris ↔ Milano journeys and Paris ↔ Torino journeys are routed via Switzerland, - but the daily departure from Paris at 14:48 / 2:48pm connects into the replacement bus service.
In the opposite direction, the train which connects into the replacement bus service, departs Milano Porta Garibaldi at 14:10; and from Torino Porta Susa at 15:41, with an arrival into Paris at 23:14.
On the Lyon ↔ Modane route, the journey involves a bus replacement on a route through Grenoble.
