Ile-de-France travelers will have to be patient. Next Thursday and Friday, railway unions are calling for a strike on several lines of the SNCF Ile-de-France network. They are asking for better working conditions and wage increases. According to the information available to us, the RER D, C and E lines, as well as the Transilien line R, connecting Gare de Lyon to Montereau (Seine-et-Marne) and Montargis (Loiret) should be particularly affected by this movement. . Other lines of the network could also be very disrupted: these are the Transilien N lines between Paris Montparnasse, Mantes-la-Jolie and Rambouillet (Yvelines), U from La Défense (Hauts-de-Seine) to La Verrière ( Yvelines) as well as the RER B - which has already experienced a strike at the beginning of last week.
The lines H - from Gare du Nord to Pontoise, Luzarches (Val-d'Oise) and Creil (Oise) - and P - from Gare de l'Est to Château-Thierry (Aisne) and la Ferté-Milon (Aisne) will be also affected, to a lesser extent.
A priori, the RER A, and lines L from Saint-Lazare to Versailles (Yvelines) and Cergy-le-Haut (Val-d'Oise) and J from Saint-Lazare to Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) and Ermont -Eaubonne (Val-d'Oise) will not be impacted.
" Stay home "
On social networks, the SNCF calls for consulting timetables and preparing their journeys in advance.
An adapted transport plan must be communicated to travelers as of Wednesday afternoon.
Arnaud Bertrand, president of the Plus de Trains users association, calls for “people who can telework to stay at home.
We will have to leave room for employees who can not help but go to their place of work.
Everyone must adapt, especially in times of health crisis.
“Also impacted, Ile-de-France residents who, on the eve of the last weekend before the end of the year celebrations, were planning to do their Christmas shopping.
A strike is also announced on the south-eastern axis of the main lines for the first weekend of the school holidays, at the call of the UNSA, Sud-Rail and CGT unions.
