SNCF: traffic disrupted again

At the SNCF, traffic will be disrupted this Monday, in conditions similar to those of the last few days.

Thus, the company plans to run more than four out of five Inoui

and

Ouigo

TGVs

, as well as two

out of three

TER trains , on a national average.

Similarly, three

Intercités

out of five should run during the day, and none at night.

In Île-de-France, the networks managed by Transilien should also be disrupted.

Traffic will be normal on

RER A

and "

normal to almost normal

" on trams T4, T11 and T13 as well as on

lines

K

and

H.

One out of two trains will run on the

RER B

on average as well as on the

R

line .

Two out of

three trains are planned on

RER C

and lines

J

,

L

and

N.

Three out of four trains should operate on line

P

and

RER E

, two out of five on

and one out of three on line

U

, according to the SNCF.

In addition, in the longer term, the SNCF expects lasting difficulties this week: at the national level, the group foresees further disruptions on Tuesday, while in Île-de-France, Transilien foresees difficulties “

until the weekend

”.

The group's unions remain mobilized against the government's plans:

"Our organizations are committed to multiplying unitary actions and initiatives from this weekend in all territories, both in the company and at the interprofessional level, and to come debate in general assembly the conduct of the conflict.

They decide to call on the railway workers to maintain the strike and to act massively next Thursday, March 23, the date fixed by the inter-union, and to take part in the demonstrations.

“, they announced in a press release on Friday.

RATP: no disruption planned, stations closed

For its part, the RATP told Le

Figaro

not to expect any particular disturbance on its network on Monday.

Buses, trams and metros should therefore run smoothly.

However, several stations located near the Place de la Concorde, the National Assembly and the Champs-Élysées, will be closed "

from 11 a.m.

", at the request of the police headquarters.

We therefore find the Argentine, Georges V, Champs Élysées Clemenceau, Franklin D. Roosevelt, La Tour-Maubourg, Invalides, National Assembly, Solférino, Varenne, Musée d'Orsay and Charles de Gaulle-Etoile stops.

Connections will be unavailable at these stations, and they will only reopen with the authorization of the prefecture, specifies the Ile-de-France region.

Air: disruptions at Orly and Marseille

The situation should remain calm in the air: on Friday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) announced that only two airports should be affected by preventive flight cancellations following the social movement.

The administration has thus asked the airlines to “

reduce their flight schedule by 30% at Paris-Orly airport and by 20% at Marseille-Provence airport

”.

Despite these "

preventive measures

", additional disruptions and delays are likely to occur, warned the DGAC in its press release.
