“highly disrupted” traffic at SNCF and RATP

Traffic will be again “very disturbed” Tuesday February 7 for trains, TGV as TER, as well as in the metros and RER in Ile-de-France, indicated Sunday the SNCF and the RATP.

The traffic will be “seriously disrupted on all lines operated by SNCF Voyageurs”with 1 train out of 2 on average for the TGV Inoui and Ouigo and 3 TER out of 10, according to the SNCF.

On the main lines, the SNCF expects to see 1 TGV out of 2 on average (it was 1 out of 3 during the previous day of action, Tuesday January 31): 2 TGV out of 5 on the North axis, 1 out of 2 in the East, 1 out of 3 in the Atlantic arc and 2 out of 5 for the South-East, from province to province and for the Ouigos.

“Very disrupted on the RER and metro networks”

The RATP plans for its part “very disrupted traffic on the RER and metro networks”, “slightly disturbed on the bus network and normal on the tram network”.

In the Paris metro, lines 1 and 14 (automatic) will operate normally, as will 3bis. One in two trains will run on line 4. For the others, the trains will be less frequent with reduced hours in the evening, or only at peak times, or even for two others (the 8 and the 13) on a section only of the line.

As for the SNCF, it’s a little better than last Tuesday, when five lines were able to operate on only one portion.

On the bus side, on the other hand, on average 8 out of 10 will circulate, and traffic will be normal on the Noctilien network. However, in general, the RATP “invites all travelers who have the possibility to favor teleworking or to postpone their trips on the network that day”.
