The railway strike continues in the Rhône Alpes region. The railway workers are protesting against the deterioration of working conditions and the reduction of staff, which, according to the trade unions, jeopardizes the safety of travellers. In this period of departure on holiday, the disruptions mainly impact the buses and the stations of Lyon Perrache and Valence.
Regional trains should be disrupted in the Rhône-alp es region due to a strike by controllers, who are calling for additional staff. The traffic of the TGV and Corail trains should be normal. But TER traffic should vary between one train in four and three trains in four depending on the lines. The union SUD Rail, which is calling for the hiring of 60 people, is calling on controllers in the region to stop work from Thursday, December 23 at 8:00 am until Monday, September 27 at 8:00 am.
After two attacks last week, the controllers asserted their right to withdraw, which implies some disruptions in the circulation of TER in the Rhône Alpes region. The inter-union believes that the safety of the officers is still not assured, negotiations with management are still ongoing.
Continuation of the strike at the SNCF on Christmas Eve. Report at the Perrache station in Lyon on stranded travellers or in search of alternative solutions.
