“We were told that two wallabies wandered along the tracks, everyone was smiling behind the masks…” Julie, a traveler used to the journey between Les Sables d'Olonne and Nantes, still laughs.

This Monday morning, his train had to stop for a few minutes at Belleville-sur-Vie due to the presence of two wallabies.

TER Pays-de-le-Loire's Twitter account immediately reported this forced shutdown with a lot of humor ...

🚦 # FlashInfoTERPDL 8:30 am.

Two #wallabys are on the move in the #Belleville region.

Although their choice to visit the # Vendée is a great idea, it nevertheless slows down our trains on the #LaRoche <> # Nantes axis in order to avoid an accident.

Contacted, the Poiré-sur-Vie gendarmerie brigade confirmed the information to

20 Minutes

and explained that the research was underway.

By 10 a.m., the soldiers still had not found this little pair of marsupials.

The train finally arrived at Nantes station nearly 25 minutes late.
