The circulation of trains in France will be “very seriously disturbed” on Tuesday, for the TGV as for the TER, and “very disturbed” in the metro and the RER in Ile-de-France, on the occasion of the sixth day of strike national against the pension reform project, SNCF and RATP said on Sunday.
Traffic will be “severely disrupted on all the lines operated by SNCF Voyageurs”, with one train in five on average for the TGV Inoui and Ouigo as well as for the TER, according to the SNCF, whose all the unions have called for a renewable strike movement. Thalys and Eurostar are also concerned. For its part, the RATP foresees “very disrupted traffic on the RER and Metro networks” and “disturbed on the Bus and Tramway networks”.
Restricted traffic in the Paris metro
On the Paris metro side, most lines will see their traffic restricted mainly at peak times, with the exception of lines 1, 14 and 4. The RER will have between one train in two and one train in three on the RATP side and between one in three and one in five on the SNCF side. Traffic will be almost completely at a standstill on the Intercités and many disruptions are to be expected on the Transiliens, with between one train in three and one in ten depending on the line.
To “put France to a halt” on March 7, the stated objective of the great day of mobilization against pension reform, the inter-union is counting on massive and even renewable strike movements in all sectors.
