Almost a year ago, seven mayors of Yvelines* sent a letter to the SNCF expressing their dissatisfaction and concern about the service of the Transilien line N. In particular, canceled trains lack of staff.

On December 15, 2024, the line N of the Transilien, just like the U line should regain the 2019 offer. Just like the RER C.

“Certain lines such as the RER C, line U or even line N, which serves Villepreux-Les Clayes station, had never regained their level of train frequency after the deterioration of the offer at the time of Covid. »

A situation that local elected officials and user associations have jointly denounced for more than three years.

Concretely, for the RER C, trains on the Juvisy – Versailles Château route will once again operate at a frequency of fifteen minutes instead of the current thirty.

And for lines N and U?

For line U, a train will run every thirty minutes during off-peak hours, instead of every hour.

For line N, return to a train passing every thirty minutes during off-peak hours, between Paris-Montparnasse and Rambouillet, compared to one per hour today.

An improvement due to recruitments carried out by SNCF in recent years.

Driver recruitment

“Transilien SNCF Voyageurs has been carrying out major recruitment campaigns for 3 years and for the second year in a row is exceeding its objectives. At the end of 2024, we are almost 1,100 recruitments (out of a target of 900), including 455 as drivers (out of a target of 400),” specifies the SNCF.

She assures that the “busiest lines, particularly RER lines, had already returned to the 2019 offer”.

4 years of waiting!

Pour Jean-Baptiste Hamonicthe SNCF has kept its commitments “but the time will have been long and the difficult situation for users! 4 years of waiting! The lines which serve our municipalities were the poor relations of the Ile-de-France network which had more than 90% returned to its pre-Covid pace in 2022. »

The vice-president of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines promises to remain vigilant “in the actual production of the offer”.

* The seven mayors concerned: Joséphine Kollmannsberger (Plaisir), Sonia Brau (Saint-Cyr-l'École), Jean-Philippe Luce (Bois-d'Arcy), Richard Rivaud (Fontenay-le-Fleury), François de Mazières ( Versailles), Jean-Baptiste Hamonic (Villepreux) and Philippe Guiguen (Les Clayes-sous-Bois).
