The rate of strikers at the SNCF is once again falling. It fell back to 5% at 4.7% on Wednesday morning, close to the lowest level reached on Monday (4.3%), with around one in five drivers (22.4%) concerned, on the 42nd day strike against pension reform, according to figures released by management.
Among the other personnel essential to the circulation of trains, 13.4% of the controllers and 10.4% of the signalmen were on strike, according to this count. The highest level of participation in the strike - 55.6% - measured by management was reached on the first day of the movement, on December 5.
Further improvement in traffic conditions
Traffic at SNCF also saw a further improvement on Wednesday. The transport company planned Tuesday evening to circulate this Wednesday 80% of TGV and TER (with substitute coaches), as well as 75% of Transilien (RER SNCF, trains of the Paris suburbs). Half of the Intercités trains are also in circulation and on the TGV side, traffic is "almost normal to and from Paris on all routes," the railway group said in a press release.
