Transport will be very disrupted in France on Thursday November 21, due to a strike announced by the SNCF on the one hand, and by the bad weather which will affect almost the entire country, on the other hand.
Doubly complicated day, this Thursday, November 21: in addition to a massive strike by the SNCF, announced by the unions to protest against the dismantling of Fret SNCF, the Caetano depression and the snow appear to increase transport difficulties. But according to the daily Southwestregarding the strike, the call will in reality be little followed.
In detail, apart from the difficulties linked to bad weather, traffic will be almost normal on the TGV Inoui and Ouigo lines. The disruptions will mainly be on the TER and Intercités side. According to Southwestthere will be one Intercités in two in circulation and seven TER in ten, on average throughout France.
Public transport stopped or disrupted
Île-de-France will experience significant disruptions. The Paris police chief has decided to lower the traffic speed by 20 km/h and to prohibit overtaking maneuvers for vehicles weighing more than 7.5 tonnes on the region's main roads, from 11 a.m. THURSDAY. On the public transport side, due to the strike movement, the disruptions will mainly be concentrated on the RER D and the Transilien line R, with only one train in three according to The Parisian. Service will be normal on the RER A, and the metro, operated by the RATP, will not be affected by the social movement.
In the regions, certain departments have decided to stop certain public transport. In Normandy, according to France Bleu, no school buses will run all day Thursday in Orne, Calvados, Manche and Eure. Commercial coaches will also remain stationary in these four Normandy departments, with the exception of a few lines.
