The French National Railway Company (SNCF) plans to run three out of four TGVs as well as one out of two TERs on Thursday April 6 for the 11e day of mobilization against the pension reform, announced the public group mardi.
Traffic will therefore be significantly improved compared to previous days, including in Ile-de-France where it will be almost normal on RER B and where three out of four trains will run on RER A. Intercités traffic will, however, remain very disrupted. with only a quarter of the trains maintained compared to usual and no night trains.
International Eurostar connections to the United Kingdom and Thalys to Benelux will be almost normal. In Ile-de-France, only the RER D will remain very disrupted with 40% of trains maintained. Lines K and R of the Transilien will see half of the trains running. Two-thirds of the usual service will be provided on RER C and E and lines H, J, L and U.
Finally, lines N and P will be less disrupted with three trains out of four, while the service will be more or less normal for trams T4, T11 and T13.
Few disruptions at the RATP
Furthermore, the traffic will be “almost normal” for the metro and the RER in Paris, announced the Autonomous Paris Transport Authority (RATP). Only a few metro lines, not specified, will experience slight disruptions. As for trams and buses, traffic will be normal “on the whole network”.
The mobilization is clearly marking time at the RATP while the heads of the eight main trade union organizations are to be received on Wednesday at Matignon by Elisabeth Borne to try to find a way out of the crisis.
