The management of the SNCF has promised it. Monday, sanitary pass controls in its mainline trains - TGV, Intercités and international - will be
"massive"
. At the station, when boarding the trains, or on board, travelers must not only be masked throughout their journey but also present the QR Code or the document certifying that they are vaccinated or tested negative for Covid. But the company, whose managers and employees learned this new measure on July 12 from the very mouth of the President of the Republic, will not work a miracle. The number of controllers and railway security officers (Suge) is sparse in the middle of the summer. Many are on leave. SNCF executives will therefore target a few trains deemed
"sensitive"
to launch random control operations in brigades.
