After the SNCF strike of February 7, the CGT-Cheminots and SUD-Rail are playing extra time on Wednesday February 8, 2023. But concretely, what should we expect from the TGV, Ouigo, Intercités, TER, Transilien and RER in term of disturbances?
[Mis à jour le 7 février 2023 à 21h34] Did you think the SNCF strike was behind you? It is not so. If, for the day of Tuesday, February 7, four railway unions called for mobilization, only the CGT and SUD-Rail are calling for a strike for the day of Wednesday, February 8, 2023. However, these are the two main unions of the company. So what should TGV, Ouigo, TER and other Transilien users expect? In its forecasts announced Tuesday evening, SNCF estimates that two out of three TGVs will run on Wednesday, against one out of two on Tuesday. On the Intercity side, half will not run, and no train will run at night. Some international connections will also be impacted by the SNCF strike on Wednesday 8 February. Finally, at the regional level, one out of two TER will run. In the Paris region, users of the Transilien and the RER will not be equal in the face of traffic disruptions.
Travelers who must take a TGV or an Intercités this Wednesday have already been informed of the cancellation or maintenance of their train by email or SMS in order to exchange their ticket free of charge or be reimbursed in full. This approach is valid “for trips from Monday 6 to 6 p.m. to Thursday 9 to 8 a.m.”, before the departure of the train, specifies the direction of the SNCF. Traffic forecasts were also announced for the Transilien and RER in Île-de-France: this Wednesday, February 8, “train traffic will remain disrupted by a social movement on the Transilien lines C, D, E, H, J, L, N, P, R and U”, indicates the site of the Transilien.
