French National Strike & Trains: Nov 6-11
 

There is some kind of national strike prevued for France Nov 6-8 - not sure if it's national for lots of things or just trains, but here's the details from sncf:

night trains 7-8 Nov 1/3 of Corail train will run

Nov 8/9 night - 1/3 Corail trains will operate

Nov 8 - thalys - adapted service (??)
2/3rds of TGV trains will run
1/3 of Corail trains will run
Artesa and Lyria - 1/3 will run

Nov 9-11 six daily Thalys trains will be cancelled.

If the strike materializes.

Sorry no other info - local trains? Maybe all running or all scrubbed?

Anyone with more info?

It's a rail strike, called by several of the unions of rail workers. I think it's mainly a salary dispute. It's scheduled for 8 pm Nov 7 until 1 am Nov 9. The SNCF/RATP rail websites usually post info on affected trains, so I expect it will be on there, if you are referring to Transilien or Ile de France trains.

There are also rumblings of strikes at Roissy airport but that's a completely different thing -- they revoked the work badges of 72 guys due to being fundamentalists and potential risks.

sorry, the end point is 8 am on nov 9th.

thanks Christina
