PARIS (BBC News) - Train service in France has almost returned to normal levels as strikes by rail workers over pension reform plans wind down.  High speed TGV trains were operating normally and most regional trains were running, said rail operator SNCF.  Eurostar trains between London and Paris were also running normally as thousands of England and South Africa fans streamed into the French capital to watch their teams play. The protest stems from plans by President Nicolas Sarkozy to end retirement privileges which let some public sector workers retire at 50 on full pensions.
