France: Rail employees to strike in Occitania Region April 11
SNCF rail employees to strike in Occitania Region, France, April 11; significant rail disruptions likely.
Event
Several unions have called on employees of the French National Railway Company (SNCF) to strike in the Occitania Region April 11 to denounce a staff shortage. The SNCF has warned of significant rail disruptions to its regional services, including the closure of select train stations. Further details regarding impacted routes may be published on the Occitania SNCF website. SCNF will contact affected travelers via SMS or email.
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.
