TER users, a complicated day is expected this Monday, November 25 on the SNCF network.
Météo France has placed several departments, notably Rhône, Loire and Haute-Loire, on orange alert, overnight from Sunday to Monday. Gusts of more than 100 km/h are expected, particularly in Lyonnais.
Already significant gusts blew this Sunday afternoon. MétéoNews notes winds blowing at more than 60 km/h per hour in Saint-Etienne, more than 82 km/h in Châtelneuf in Forez and 93 km/h in Bard. But the record goes to Chalmazel where winds of 113 km/h were recorded. In Roanne, the gusts were around 80 km/h.
The MétéoNews meteorologist forecasts a very rough night where the wind was expected to increase further, particularly in the Gier valley and the Haute-Loire valleys.
Avoid engaging trains amid disruptions
“In order to guarantee the safety of travelers and staff”, the SNCF announced this Sunday evening the interruption of traffic on several lines, all day for some.
Particularly concerned: Lyon- Saint-Etienne – Le Puy en Velay / Saint-Etienne-Roanne – Montbrison / Lyon-Roanne-Clermont / Lyon – Paray-le-Monial / Lyon – Saint-André-le-Gaz- Grenoble / Lyon Saint Paul – L’Arbresle -Tassin-Lozanne-Brignais.
“This “Stop circulation” measure, that is to say the preventive stopping of rail traffic to avoid engaging trains in the middle of disruptions, at the risk of being blocked with passengers on board, was decided by SNCF network” specifies the SNCF in a press release.
As soon as weather conditions permit, reconnaissance trains will run to ensure that there are no obstacles on the tracks. “In the event of the presence of trees and branches, the teams of SNCF network loggers present on board these trains will have the mission of clearing the tracks” indicates the SNCF.
It is recommended to consult the SNCF website
Before going to the station, it is therefore recommended to regularly consult the TER site or your mobility application to check the circulation of your trains.
