Traffic will be disrupted in Ile-de-France on Monday, following a local social movement, in particular on lines C, D and E of the RER, on the first day of the oral French and grand oral exams of the baccalaureate, announced SNCF Sunday.

The service will be normal for lines A, B, H, K, T. There will be every other train on lines J, L and U;

one in three trains serving all axes for lines C, E, N.

One in three trains will run on line D, but with a suspended interconnection between Châtelet and Gare de Lyon.

The service to stations from Corbeil for Juvisy via Ris-Orangis, Malesherbes and Melun is provided by bus.

Also one in three trains for lines P and R, with some of the stations served by buses here too.

SNCF informs that "red vests" are mobilized to inform and help student candidates for the bac exams.

In the event of a problem, they "must go to SNCF agents in stations or on board", and "depending on the hazard and the context, they may have to find a substitute for candidates".

The "SNCF also informs the rectorates of the possible consequences in the event of disturbances. Depending on the function, the rectorates can accept a slight delay from the candidates," she said in her press release.

The railway company "invites people who have planned to travel by train in Ile-de-France on Monday to postpone their journey as far as possible".

The drivers of RER and suburban trains are called to stop work by several unions because "the cup is full", protests in a SUD-Rail leaflet, joined according to the lines by the CGT, Unsa and the CFDT.

This call to strike relays demands that may vary depending on the line, but their common point "is the opening up to competition" and the reorganizations already carried out with a view to future calls for tenders, according to Fabien Dumas, Federal Secretary from SUD-Rail.
