Another difficult day for Ile-de-France users of the RER B. Traffic is “very disrupted” this Monday on the second busiest line in Europe (after the RER A). “On average one in two trains” must run, RATP announced on Saturday.
The fault lies with a local social movement, said the Paris transport authority. Three unions (La base, CGT and FO) launched a call for a strike on December 18 for December 18, denouncing the “blatant injustice” of a disciplinary procedure against an RER driver.
Despite this strike, the interconnection between the SNCF and RATP networks is maintained at Gare du Nord. No need to change trains at this station.
The RATP “invites all passengers on the line who have the possibility to do so to favor teleworking or to postpone their trips that day and apologizes for the planned transport conditions,” she said on Saturday.
