One of the most used sections of the Paris metro is at a standstill this Monday, December 16 in the morning. Since 5:30 a.m., line 14 has been cut between Gare de Lyon and Madeleine stationsdue to a electrical breakdown at Pyramids. RATP estimates that automatic metros will be able to run again from 8:30 a.m..
On line 6, there is once again an electrical failure which causes slowdowns, and even an interruption of traffic between Raspail and La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle. The Paris metro manager thinks he will be able to restore traffic in this sector of Montparnasse around 7:30 a.m.
The less followed strike at Transilien
On the other hand, the RER C and D are running well this Monday morningafter four consecutive days of strike by railway workers at the call of the CGT and Sud Rail. They oppose the dismantling of the goods transport subsidiaryFret SNCF, and the upcoming opening to competition of the TER and Transilien lines. In Ile-de-France, lines J and L, departing and arriving from Saint-Lazare, will be the first affected in 2025.
The number of trains in circulation has fallen sharply in recent days on the RER C, and especially on line D, where the Sud Rail union is very established. Only 1 train out of 2 ran on Sunday. The other unions, Unsa Ferroviaire and CFDT Cheminots, withdrew their notice shortly before the start of the renewable strike, considering that they had obtained concessions from management on the maintenance of the rights of railway workers transferred to Fret replacements.
