PARIS, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- Trains were running on time in Paris Thursday after more than 50,000 people were delayed due an electrical problem the day before.
Two train conductors were attacked, one hospitalized, by unruly and angry riders when their trains were delayed for hours between metro Paris and its suburbs. Other passengers exasperated by the delays hopped out and walked the tracks, Radio France International said.
