It was 0 ° C in Toulouse on Tuesday morning and the tram passengers remained frozen on the platform.

The cold numbed to the oars.

More precisely, according to Tisséo, it "frosted the cables", which consequently cannot supply the trainsets with electricity.

So we have a tram in Toulouse which is already normally one of the slowest in France (world?) But in addition, as soon as it gets a little cold (~ 0 ° C), it does not leave.

Alright, keep it up @TisseoSMTC (no).

This Tuesday at 10 am, the operator indicated to have "no visibility" on the schedule of resumption of traffic.

The teams are in full de-icing operation.

And, for now, bus line 45 has been extended to the Place du Relais stop, while line 70 is extended to MEET, the new exhibition center.

This sensitivity to the cold of the Toulouse tramway is known, even if episodes of paralysis are rare.
