Antibes stationhall

A view on the stationhall of Antibes station.On the 21st of July 2005 , traffic was suspended between 17.40h and 19.00h , due to bomb alarm in Cannes on the Marseille-Ventimiglia mainline.The trains following TGV6184 have the comment "retard indeterminé" , which means "unknown delay".Eventually TGV6184 was allowed to depart at 19.00 with a delay of 1h20.

Unfortunatly , this event has led to stronger security measures on SNCF stations and it has become very difficult to take photographs in SNCF stations.
