The French rail operator SNCF announced a provisional timetable amid a week-long strike scheduled from May 5th to 11th, primarily affecting local and regional services. Rail unions have initiated the strike due to failed pay and working condition negotiations, aiming for maximum disruption during the VE Day holiday weekend. Despite this, SNCF's chief, Christophe Fanichet, reassured the public that high-speed TGV services would maintain regular schedules. Although local TER services could face significant reductions, major urban transport like the Paris Metro remains unaffected.
"Rail unions representing train drivers, conductors and technicians have issued overlapping strike notices for the period from Monday, May 5th to Sunday, May 11th - targeting the holiday weekend around VE Day."
"We are far from a black week," said SNCF boss Christophe Fanichet, adding that high-speed TGV services should run as normal.
