major disturbances in the station Saint Lazare due to a spontaneous strike of the agents

This walkout without warning, followed "massively" by the controllers, according to Christophe Abadi, the SUD Rail union, and gradually joined during the day by "drivers", was decided in reaction to seven attacks that occurred between Friday and Sunday on Norman lines and the transilien.

Several incidents also helped to slow down the movement of trains, including smoke in Poissy station. Many delays are expected on the lines J and L of the transilien until the end of the service. The Cergy-le-Haut axis of line L is notably "very disturbed like the axes" Les Mureaux / Mantes via Poissy "of line J.

Contacted by AFP, the management of the SNCF spoke of a "conjunction of incidents", including falling trees, and refused to comment on the social movement announced in a statement by the SUD Rail union.

Towards a harder movement?

This is a "first warning shot before a" possible "harder and wider movement" in case of insufficient measures for the protection of railway workers, warned SUD Rail, deploring "the casual attitude" of management .

Pending the holding on Wednesday of a meeting 'safety' promised by the leadership, the movement should "normally" not continue on Tuesday, said Chrisophe Abadi. But, according to the twitter account of the line J, the traffic could be "a little slow" Tuesday, "because it is necessary to put all the equipment in place (garage, etc …) for the production" and "this is not not always fully feasible after disrupted traffic ".

In addition, a regional social movement scheduled for Tuesday against schedule changes will cause disruption on TER Normandy lines.
