On the bright side, the train workers, who are scheduled to go on strike tonight at midnight, have spontaneously given all of the demonstrators half-price tickets for the ride. If it does leave...updates soon.
UPDATE
50 riot police have just shown up on the platform and have entered the train, searching people's belongings. They have made one arrest so far.
