A brief power outage on Thursday disrupted Geneva’s public transport network and the Léman Express.
A voltage drop on the Swissgrid high-voltage network, confirmed by the city’s Industrial Services, occurred shortly after 2 p.m. and was restored by around 2:30.
Four tram lines were halted, with busses temporarily replacing some services.
The Léman Express also faced delays and cancellations, with seven trains between Geneva and Annemasse affected during the afternoon disruption.
