Any news on French trains strikes during the next fortnight. Thanks for info.
OK. In my search on French Google nothing current is coming up for SNCF or SNCF Translien in the immediate future. The last one I found mentioned was for Dec 31-Jan. 1.In my experience and mine only, the strikes tend to be in Oct, Nov, Dec, unless there is some big contract issue. Also they are usually only announced a few days to a week ahead of time. It is always possible to run into a last minute one. Or even just the stoppage of one metro line or denying the RER/metro connection at Gare du Nord. For the current situation I use ratp.fr/informer/trafic/traf...

There were one day strikes affecting regional trains earlier in the month in both Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrenées. If you are planning to travel within the various regions (as opposed to long distance TGV or Intercités trains) the best place to check is the regional railway website through www.ter-sncf.com The information here is only given in French. Of more import perhaps is the temporary closure of a lot of lines as a result of improvement and modernisation work. In some instances, replacement bus transport is not provided and trains simply don't run. For long distance trains this information appears at www.voyages-sncf.com and for regional networks on the websites via the page above.
