The period is delicate for SNCF passengers.
While many French people hope to spend the holidays with family for Christmas and New Year, a strike by SNCF controllers severely disrupts train traffic.
The CEO of SNCF Voyageurs, Christophe Fanichet, then announced on France Info a reimbursement of the trains removed at "200%" this Wednesday morning.
“I am announcing that we will reimburse for travelers who will not be able to circulate 200% reimbursement.
It is a very special period, this strike is unacceptable so we owed this gesture to our customers, ”he assured.
"I want to apologize to the company," said the leader immediately.
“A strike for the Christmas holidays is really unacceptable, I am angry”.
Only two out of three trains will run this Christmas weekend.
The controllers are on strike for the two holiday weekends.
They are calling for measures to improve their career development and salary increases.
