SNCF STRIKE 13 APRIL. Next Thursday will take place the 12th day of mobilization against the pension reform, to which the unions of the SNCF join.
[Updated April 11, 2023 at 11:55 a.m.] The SNCF strike continues this Thursday, April 13, 2023, on the eve of the decisive decision of the Constitutional Council on the validity of the pension reform law. The inter-union does not despair of being heard by the government and obtaining the withdrawal of this controversial law. “In the weeks to come, the CGT will continue to demand the outright withdrawal of the reform for the thousands of employees, young people, unemployed who believe in victory”, proclaims the trade union organization in a press release.
Except for travelers taking a TGV or an Intercités this Thursday, the disruptions on the SNCF rails have not yet been communicated. Indeed, SMS or email have already been sent to holders of a TGV or Intercités ticket.
SNCF train traffic should be severely disrupted this Thursday, April 13. The intersyndicale, made up of the main French unions, has indeed called for “a day of mobilizations and strikes on April 13”, in a press release published on April 6. It remains to be seen whether the strike will be more followed at the SNCF than on the previous day of April 6. SNCF traffic forecasts for the day of April 13 will be communicated this Tuesday, April 11 in the evening.
The TERs are experiencing some traffic disruptions in certain regions this Tuesday, April 11, 2023, due to the renewable strike movement against the pension reform. On the other hand, no disruption is announced because of the walkouts with regard to the traffic of Transilien, RER, TGV, Intercités, Eurostar, Lyria and Thalys. Here is the line-by-line forecast:
Travelers on canceled TGV and Intercités trains receive the information via e-mail or SMS. On the other hand, users of TER without a connection do not receive SMS. You should verify the information by entering your train number on the SNCF website.
