The SNCF foresees on Wednesday an improvement on the main lines, the TER and the suburbs of Paris, with in particular 4 of the 5 TGVs in circulation, on the 23rd day of a renewable strike against the pension reform.
SNCF Voyageurs plans to keep on Wednesday 80% of its Inoui and Ouigo TGVs, two-thirds of its Intercités and three-quarters of its TER, a spokesman told AFP on Tuesday. Night trains will timidly run again and traffic will be “almost normal” on the Eurostar and Thalys.
On the Ile-de-France rail network, train traffic will improve significantly, lines C, D, L and R will continue to be the most interrupted with 2 out of 3 trains.
At the same time, the management plans to circulate 3 trains out of 4 on average on its part of the RER A -as well as the RATP for its part- and on line N. It plans 4 trains of the 5 on line H.
Service will be normal, or nearly so, on RER B and E, as well as on lines J, K, U, T4, T11 and T13, with line P having more or less interrupted service depending on the branch. Still in Ile-de-France, traffic should be normal on the RATP network, except for RER A.
The railway unions have called a renewable strike from March 7, until the Government withdraws its pension reform. The movement is more or less followed, with more significant disturbances on days of interprofessional mobilization, such as this Tuesday.
