Breaking news: Train services operated by SNCF and the Paris metro will be severely disrupted this Tuesday, March 28.
Striking railway workers at SNCF have reignited their protest against pension reform during this day of nationwide mobilization.
This is not the first time that SNCF workers have gone on strike since the beginning of the year. Indeed, they have been at the forefront of the movement against pension reform and have rallied other professions to oppose the government.
The RATP is closely monitoring this strike movement and will also experience major disruptions tomorrow. The Île-de-France region will offer free carpooling tomorrow and will pay drivers who undertake trips with additional passengers.
What to Expect for Trains Tomorrow?
Tomorrow, train travel will be difficult for most SNCF passengers. Here are the detailed forecasts so you can plan your journeys:
- Approximately 1 train out of 2 on the national level;
- 3 TGV INOUI (France and International) and 3 OUIGO out of 5;
- 1 daytime Intercités out of 4;
- No night Intercités services;
- Eurostar and Thalys trains will run almost normally.

What About RATP Metro Lines?
At this stage, forecasts suggest significant disruptions to the Paris metro system tomorrow. Most lines will be affected. Therefore, SNCF and RATP recommend postponing your trips if possible, or rescheduling your travel to reduce congestion during peak hours.
To guide you tomorrow, here are the latest updates via the official Île-de-France Mobilités Twitter:
Moreover, the metro will not serve six RATP stations. The stations of Charonne, Filles du Calvaire, Oberkampf, Rue des Boulets, Saint-Ambroise, and Voltaire will be closed on Tuesday, March 28.
