This is the case of the Hauts-de-France, Grand-Est and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions.
The SNCF wanted to be reassuring by specifying that these deletions will only affect, for example, 1% of the 500,000 daily passengers of the RER C. The problem is however global, with 1,200 driver positions which are in power at the national level.
Various and known reasons
The company mentioned in a document this Friday a lack of 10% of the workforce to provide rail links on French territory.
The direction of the SNCF nevertheless indicated “not to be able to provide a precise figure for the hour”.

The resignations of employees are also on the rise, as are the abandonments of future railway workers in training.
