“For travelers who will not run and whose trains are cancelled,” a “200% refund” will be offered. This was announced by the director general of SNCF Voyageurs, Christophe Fanichet, this Wednesday in franceinfo. These users will therefore benefit from compensation equal to the price of their ticket, in addition to their full refund.
For a Paris-Strasbourg initially sold at a price of 100 euros and canceled due to the strike movement, the transport company will pay the traveler 200 euros.
asked about Inter de France This Wednesday, the government spokesman, Olivier Véran, reacted to this announcement. “For those who can’t spend Christmas with their family, I’m not sure that makes up for it,” he said of this exceptional measure.
“No Fee Hike” Exchanges
The company will also apply special conditions when changing tickets. Christophe Fanichet promises users that they will be able to change their tickets for another day, free of charge and “without price increase”.
The leader finally confirmed the traffic forecasts for this Christmas weekend: two out of three TGVs will circulate, which means that “three out of four French people will be able to travel”. On the contrary, 200,000 travelers will not be able to circulate normally during these end-of-year celebrations.
