The SNCF confirmed Wednesday night its traffic forecast for the bridge of All Saints on the Atlantic axis, still disturbed by a strike in a maintenance center in the suburbs of Paris, with 8 TGV on 10 from Thursday to Sunday.
"There will be 8 TGV out of 10 from tomorrow (Thursday) and until Sunday on the West and Southwest, and 80% of the places initially planned will be available", has exposed to AFP Gwendoline Cazenave, the director of TGV Atlantique.
"All travelers whose trains have been canceled have been warned, and others will be able to travel with confidence," she said.
The service is very disrupted on this axis linking Paris to Brittany, the Pays-de-la-Loire and the Southwest following a strike launched on October 21 by some 200 employees - about 700 - the technic center Châtillon (Hauts-de-Seine), specialized in the daily maintenance of trains.
"We have resumed negotiations," noted Ms. Cazenave, noting that a meeting was scheduled for Wednesday at 20:00 "for consultation and accountability to prevail".
If the SNCF has rebuilt its transport plan for the weekend thanks to the contribution of trains from other regions, "nothing has been changed in the maintenance of trains, trains TGV Atlantic continue to be maintained in Châtillon "and not in other centers, the manager noted.
And for Monday, "we are confident that our discussions will be constructive," said Gwendoline Cazenave.
