« Quasi-normal traffic »
“As part of the national inter-professional social movement, SNCF Voyageurs train traffic will be almost normal on Tuesday October 1”the railway company said in a press release.
The traffic will be thus « normal » on TGV links while “some traffic could be slightly disrupted on certain regional trains (TER, Transilien) as well as certain Intercity connections”according to SNCF.
Line by line forecasts will be communicated on Monday.
Mobilization day
Several unions (the CGT, Solidaires and FSU) joined by youth organizations are calling for a strike and demonstration on Tuesday to demand the repeal of the pension reform and an increase in wages.
The Parisian demonstration, which will start from Place Denfert-Rochereau at 2 p.m., was initially scheduled to coincide with the presentation of the budget to the Assembly, which was ultimately postponed.
It will take place just before the Prime Minister’s general policy speech, at 3 p.m., which will set the course for his policy while many social issues (unemployment insurance, employment of seniors, in particular) have remained unresolved.
