SNCF strikeFewer trains for cross-border commuters, hassle in sight
LUXEMBOURG/METZ – If the situation is slightly more favorable than during the first episode of the strike against the pension reform in France, cross-border workers who take the train will even suffer some difficulties on Tuesday.
Strike against pension reform, episodes 2. While the first movement strike had been widely followed on Thursday, January 19, cross-border workers can expect another complicated day, especially in transport. Tuesday morning, only ten TER trains run between Metz and Luxembourg, between 4:52 a.m. and 9:04 a.m. People who take the train in Thionville will benefit from an eleventh at 8:03 am.
In the evening, the situation will be more or less similar with nine trains between the Luxembourg capital and Metz, between 3:58 p.m. and 7:39 p.m. Cross-border commuters stopping at Hettange-Grande and Thionville will have two additional trains at peak times.
If the day should be difficult for those who have not made their arrangements, the traffic plan remains more favorable than Thursday 19 on the Lorraine furrow, but above all much more provided than in the rest of France. At the national level, the situation should be particularly difficult with two out of ten TERs on average throughout the territory.
Traffic will also be “severely disrupted” on the TGVs with only one train out of three on average on the rails. “The discounts are generally similar” to those of Thursday, January 19, a summary Sunday, the SNCF, to AFP. In the East, one out of two TGVs is announced.
