On 21 August 2015, a man on a Thalys train on its way from Amsterdam to Paris[7][8] opened fire in a train carriage before his assault rifle jammed,[9] and he was subsequently subdued by passengers. Including the assailant, four people were injured.[10] French police believe the incident to be an Islamist terrorist attack, although the gunman said robbery was his only intent.[11][12] French, American and British passengers confronted the attacker; they received France's highest decoration, the Legion of Honour, and some received other honours as well.

Or even 14 years slow...

The 2004 Madrid train bombings (also known in Spain as 11-M) were nearly simultaneous, coordinated bombings against the Cercanías commuter train system of Madrid, Spain, on the morning of 11 March 2004 – three days before Spain's general elections. The explosions killed 192 people and injured around 2,000.[1][3] The official investigation by the Spanish judiciary found that the attacks were directed by an al-Qaeda terrorist cell,

Seems like there's a trend of incidents at places where people eat.
