France: Rail employees to strike in Auvergne Region, affecting Paris, June 13
SNCF rail employees to strike in Auvergne Region, affecting Paris, France, June 13; significant rail disruptions likely.
Event
Unionized rail staff employed by French railway operator SNCF have announced plans to strike in the Auvergne Region on June 13. The work stoppage will reportedly affect lines J and L of the Transilien and lines B and C of the RER in Paris. A number of trains on these lines will be delayed or canceled through the day. The reason for the strike is unclear.
The elevated use of alternative means of transport, such as regional buses, taxis, or private vehicles, could prompt increased road traffic congestion. Residual disruptions are possible after the strike ends as rail operators reposition rolling stock.
Advice
Confirm all train reservations and allow additional time for travel during the announced strike period. Arrange alternative transport options if necessary.
