Thalys reduces its summer service after incidents

Thalys lines will be disrupted this summer due to checks on two trains, with cancellations resulting, the railway company said on Friday.

“As a consequence, Thalys will not be able to use its entire fleet for the next few weeks”, and has “adapted” its transport offer until September 2.

Around 10% of trips have been canceled on this train service connecting Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne, Thalys told AFP.

The cancellations were planned on trips between trains with available seats, and some on trips where there were two trains, Thalys said.

Customers can postpone their trip free of charge or receive a refund up to one year after the trip.
