Traffic will again be severely disrupted at SNCF and RATP on Tuesday, according to the latest traffic forecasts communicated Monday afternoon by transport companies.
A new black day in perspective in transport. After January 19 and 31, Tuesday February 7 will be marked by a new interprofessional strike movement against the pension reform project. THE disengagement should again be very closely followed by the SNCF, which alerts on a circulation “strongly disturbed” and invites travelers to “cancel or postpone their trips”. The situation will also be complicated in Ile-de-France, warns the RATP. Here is the traffic forecast.

According to the forecasts updated on Monday February 6 by the SNCF, it will take on average an incredible TGV out of two for this new day of mobilization. In detail, two out of five TGVs will be maintained on the North axis, one out of two TGVs on the East axis, one out of three TGVs on the Atlantic axis, two out of five TGVs on the South-East axis.
As it concerns Ouigo TGVs, two out of five trains are expected to run. For international traffic, the SNCF plans three out of four Eurostars, one out of two Lyria and one out of “slightly disturbed” on the Thalys. For the other international connections, one in three trains on average will depart.
On the TER side, regional traffic will experience a large number of canceled trains. Only three out of ten trains should run on average. However, these forecasts can vary greatly depending on the region. Details of TER traffic will be given later by the SNCF.
Finally, it will be necessary to expect traffic “strongly disturbed” for the Intercities. Only two round trips are planned on the Polt line (Paris-Orléans-Limoges-Toulouse). Same thing for Bordeaux-Marseille and Nantes-Lyon. There will be a round trip for Paris-Clermont and “no traffic” in Nantes-Bordeaux and Aubrac (Clermont-Béziers), in particular.
SNCF also announced on Monday afternoon that it expects traffic “disturbed” in the suburban trains of Ile-de-France for the day of the Wednesday February 8. Two unions, the CGT Cheminots and SUD Rail, call to continue their movement against the pension reform.

In airports: disrupted flights at Orly
It will be necessary to expect the cancellation of one in five flights departing from Orly airport Tuesday.

The same measure had been decided for the strike day of January 31.
