This Monday, November 25 promises to be complicated for travelers in Occitania. A strike by drivers in Midi-Pyrénées, to the west of the Occitanie region, is causing major disruptions on SNCF train lines. Unions deplore a lack of “human and material” resources to “ensure a quality public service”. Furthermore, a technical incident that occurred this morning between Cahors and Souillac further complicates the situation, forcing the authorities to interrupt traffic on this axis.

A strike disrupts train traffic in Occitanie this Monday

The strike planned for Monday mainly affects the train lines serving the western part of the Occitanie region. SNCF and liO Train recommend that users postpone their journeys if possible. Travelers are invited to check the availability of their trains via the usual channels:

  • the liO Train website,
  • the telephone information number at 0800 31 31 31,
  • mobility applications such as SNCF Connect.

Added to these social disturbances was an incident on the line between Cahors and Souillac. According to information from the SNCF, a tree that fell on the catenaries early this morning forced the authorities to interrupt traffic on this axis linking two towns in the Lot. Traffic is estimated to resume at 9 a.m., but delays and cancellations could persist throughout the day.

With these two cumulative incidents, rail traffic in Occitanie risks being seriously disrupted throughout the day. Users are encouraged to consult real-time updates via information platforms such as liO Train, the X feed @lio_train_sncf, and SNCF mobile applications.
