Only two out of three trains will run over the Christmas weekend due to a strike by controllers, SNCF management announced at a press conference on Tuesday, December 20.
Two out of three TGVs should run on Friday on the Atlantic and Mediterranean axes, and one in two trains on the North axis. Three Ouigo out of four should circulate. The Intercités should have normal traffic conditions. The details for Saturday and Sunday have not yet been communicated.
For the weekends of Christmas and New Year, the CGT-Cheminots and SUD-Rail are not calling for a strike by the controllers, but the two unions have decided to let their notice run in order to give everyone the possibility of whether or not to join the movement born outside any union framework. The social movement should further expand at the start of the school year, all of the RATP unions having called on Wednesday to “continue and harden the strike movement from January 2023”around the salary issue but also pensions.
