SNCF STRIKE. The first forecasts for the strike on Thursday, November 21, 2024 have been made. What disruptions are announced on TGV, Intercités, TER and RER trains?
[Mis à jour le 19 novembre 2024 à 13h00] While the SNCF inter-union called for a strike this Thursday, November 21 which will begin on Wednesday, November 20 at 7 p.m. until Thursday, November 22 in the morning, 8 a.m., the first disruptions were announced by SNCF Voyageurs this Tuesday, announcing “almost normal” TGV traffic but “some disruptions” to be expected “on certain regional lines”. LThe strike therefore seems for the moment to have little impact on rail traffic. More detailed traffic forecasts will be revealed here at the end of the day.
This day of strike to denounce a “strategy of social dumping and unlimited financial profitability” on the part of the management of the railway company is announced as an “ultimatum” before a potential movement renewable every 24 hours envisaged from Wednesday December 11, 2024, i.e. 10 days before the start of the end-of-year holidays. The consequences for SNCF users could be considerable. If the strike is continued after December 11, it could disrupt planned journeys during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The strike of June 21 affects part of the SNCF TER, but SNCF Voyageurs implies for the moment that some TGV lines could possibly be affected. Here are the disruptions in detail:
The strike on Thursday, November 21, 2024 is taking place from Wednesday November 20 at 7 p.m. to Friday November 22 at 8 a.m.. Traffic will therefore return to normal on Friday, November 22.
In December, users of main lines (TGV, Intercités), medium lines (TER) as well as smaller lines on the Île-de-France network (Transilien and RER managed by SNCF) could expect strong disruptions from December 11 from 7 p.m., but we do not know for how long.
How do I know if my train is canceled due to the SNCF strike?
Canceled TGV and Intercités travelers receive information via e-mail or SMS between 24 and 48 hours in advance (provided they have provided their contact details when booking). On the other hand, TER users without connections do not receive SMS messages. You should check the information by entering your train number the day before and just before departure on the SNCF website.
SNCF users can quickly check the traffic situation and find out if a particular train has been canceled or if it is leaving late. For information concerning TGVs, the telephone number made available is 0 805 90 36 35. To follow the traffic of all major or medium lines (TGV, Intercités, TER), go to this SNCF page . For information on the Transilien or RER in the Paris suburbs, you must call 0 805 90 36 35 or consult the dedicated platform.
