Billboards and empty platforms: for this third day of mobilization against the pension reform, traffic at the SNCF remains severely disrupted.

At Saint-Lazare station, travelers therefore continue to apply the D system to try to go to work, despite an improvement in the offer.

Never two without three !

After two mobilizations against the successful pension reform, the unions are marching through the streets again on Tuesday.

Transport, school... Many services will still be disrupted.

But at Saint-Lazare station, improvements are worth noting.

If last week, only two trains per hour circulated, this Tuesday, this figure to double.

What improve the travel conditions of users.

"I take the RER E at 5 o'clock, every morning. This morning, everything is going well, but it's the return that will be complicated", explains Emmanuel, an employee in the building.

"I'm going to try to find an alternative, like the tram or the metro. But, if that doesn't work, I'm going to take time to get back", he confesses at the microphone of Europe 1. Because the traffic on the RATP network remains particularly disrupted.

Outside the automatic lines, the traffic is very random.

“I had to make three changes”

"Usually, I only take a metro to get home, but with the strike, I had to make three changes," explains Clarisse, who is finishing her night shift at the hospital.

"And now I'm trying to take a train but I don't know if it will arrive. So I've been waiting for 30 minutes and I'm crossing my fingers for it to arrive," continues the Parisian. 

The situation will be similar everywhere in France, with only one out of two TGVs on average, three out of ten TERs and few Intercités.
