Train services disrupted by a series of fires on French high-speed rail lines are slowly resuming, hours before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony

Rail company SNCF says it's a "massive attack aimed at paralysing the network"; France's transport minister condemns the "co-ordinated malicious acts"

Some 800,000 customers will be affected with disruption expected all weekend, the rail firm says

One in four Eurostar services across its entire network will be cancelled until Monday
