Eurostar trains cancelled at Gare du Nord in Paris after unexploded WW2 bomb found

Edited by Emily Atkinson, with Hugh Schofield reporting from Paris, BBC, Mar.7: Eurostar and local train services at Gare du Nord station in Paris have been cancelled after an unexploded World War Two bomb was found nearby.

The bomb was found "in the middle of the tracks" in the area of Saint-Denis during overnight works, local media reports.

It's not unusual to discover unexploded wartime bombs in areas like this, reports Hugh Schofield from Paris.

"Please change your journey for a different date of travel," Eurostar says, as services between London and Paris are cancelled.

Large crowds are seen waiting for updates in Gare du Nord, with signs warning passengers that services are suspended until further notice.
