SNCF reports a significant improvement in train delays over the past year, particularly those caused by forgotten luggage. Forgotten items can lead to halted trains and platform closures for security checks, which have increased due to terrorist threats. Initial deployment of sniffer dogs began in 2023, and currently, there are 64 teams active in the French rail network. As a result of these measures, delays attributed to forgotten luggage have decreased by 30 percent, which equates to 2,300 hours saved, while 9,000 items were abandoned just in the first half of 2025.
