Will the TGV, TER, Transilien and RER experience disruptions this Friday, October 13, 2023? Will the SNCF strike be followed? Update on forecasts.
Friday October 13, 2023, the inter-union is calling for a day of national and inter-professional strike in order to defend “purchasing power and the increase in salaries, pensions and social minimums”. The movement will be followed by certain railway workers. However, not all trains and passengers will be affected in the same way. The SNCF has announced its forecasts and, at the national level, few disruptions are planned. Thus, the TGVs will operate with “almost normal” traffic on Friday October 13. Conversely, regional trains should be more affected.
Here are the forecasts for Friday October 13, 2023:

Same thing in the Grand Est region for regional trains in Champagne-Ardennes but also in Lorraine. Traffic will be slightly disrupted in the Hauts de France region.
