The head of the SNCF is optimistic. “This weekend, we will not be far from 90% of the trains that will travel,” says Jean-Pierre Farandou, president of the SNCF group, this Tuesday morning in France Inter, on the strike movement launched by railway workers for the bridge on May 8.
“In the TGV, we have enough confidence, all the exits will be fine, there is almost no strike on Wednesday on Thursday,” he said.
But for returns, the situation is more delicate because the controllers are called to the strike. In spite of everything, Jean-Pierre Farandou promises that “nobody will stay at the dock.”
“Several thousand” of canceled reservations
In addition, the “travelers the same travelers canceled” several thousand thousands “, for fear of being blocked.
Three categories of rail workers (equipment, drivers and controllers) presented a notice for the period from May 6 to 10. Railway workers demand an increase in remuneration and a better anticipation of schedules, too frequently modified at the last minute due to the implementation of a new software according to them.
