Most of the trains were Friday at the French stations despite a very followed controllers strike on this weekend of the bridge on May 8, depending on the postal tables consulted online.
About 60% of the bosses said on the TGV on Friday. In Paris Gare, in Paris, all trains at the beginning were already confirmed around 5.30 pm
The South-Rail Union and a collective of controllers called National Asct Collective (CNA) requested a strike on May 9, 10 and 11 to claim an increase in their work bonus and a better anticipation of the schedules, too frequently modified in the last minute according to them.
96% normal traffic this Wek end
According to the public group management, the attack rate should be a bit higher on Saturday and Sunday.
Throughout the weekend, management provides normal 96% traffic in TGVs.
“We will almost be in normal service this weekend,” Alain Krakovitch, director of TGV-Diencités, told AFP.
The SNCF said that “all travelers can travel the day scheduled for their destination.”
Most trains can work thanks to the deployment of volunteers, company executives, who have received special training for a day to replace striking controllers in trains.
“We didn’t know there was a strike,” he observed Friday morning at the Goe de Lyon in a Pacific Hall 2 Stanislas Capasso, 65.
“He had no imperative, so he was half worried,” said Christine Augé, 69, who returned to Narbonne after a few days with her daughter. There will be no extension with the grandchildren: your train has been confirmed.
SNCF Travelers has also promised to offer everyone whose train has been canceled a 50% reduction coupon on its next trip.
Strike on June 4
Regional trains, which can circulate without headwaters on the board, will normally mount them on Friday and Saturday, as well as the interity trains.
The specific disturbances could intervene: in Lille, a Lille Tourco train has been eliminated due to the strike, according to the station site.
The SNCF ile -of -France (Transilien) network, which includes several RER lines or portions, must also experience normal traffic, SNCF said.
The CGT-CHEMINOTS, the first union organization in the SNCF, has already planned a continuation of the mobilization in June.
The organization launched on Wednesday a strike call on June 4 for drivers, outside a round table dedicated to the premium from which they benefit, on June 5 for all categories of railway workers, with claims on wages or the improvement of working conditions, and on June 11 for the controllers.
Earlier this week, a driver controller in the so-called CGT-CHEMINOTS caused interruption in regional lines in several regions, such as Hauts-de-France or Ile-de-France.
According to SNCF travelers, “approximately nine out of ten will have circulated in France (during this strike), and around eight trans lines (Parisian suburbs) in ten, with disparities according to the regions or lines.”
On Wednesday, Sud Rail claimed 40% of strike drivers throughout the country and up to one in two regional trains canceled in Ile-de-France.
