SNCF STRIKE. The strike forecasts for Thursday, November 21, 2024 have been released. Here are the disruptions announced in detail on TGV, Intercités, TER and RER trains.
[Updated on November 19, 2024 at 6:00 p.m.] SNCF unions have called for a strike this Thursday, November 21 to denounce the dismantling of Fret SNCF and the opening up to competition. This Tuesday, traffic forecasts were announced by SNCF Voyageurs and the Transilien website for the Ile-de-France region. If on the TGV side, there is not too much worry to be done with traffic announced “Almost normal” by the railway company, disruptions are however to be expected on “on certain regional lines”: TER as well as RER and Transilien lines in the Paris region.
This day of strike action to denounce a “strategy of social dumping and unlimited financial profitability” on the part of the management of the railway company is announced as an “ultimatum” before a potential movement renewable every 24 hours envisaged in from Wednesday, December 11, 2024, i.e. 10 days before the start of the end-of-year holidays. The consequences for SNCF users could be considerable. If the strike continues after December 11, it could disrupt scheduled travel during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
