Please be informed that the railway line south of Bordeaux, France (see map below), was closed on 25 July due to major wildfires in the area.
As a result, freight trains from north of Bordeaux cannot reach Spain via the Hendaye–Irun border crossing.
The French authorities will decide when the line can be reopened. Once authorisation is granted, SNCF Réseau will require approximately two days to inspect the infrastructure and carry out any necessary repairs before traffic can safely resume.
At this stage, SNCF Réseau expects the line to remain closed until at least 30 or 31 July.
We will keep you informed of the line's reopening date as soon as we receive the information.
These are the partners that make the Atlantic Corridor flow.
