Here we are again! After the RATP agents and the farmers, it's the train workers' unions that are coming together for a social movement on Thursday, November 21. This nationwide action shouldn't have too much impact on the TGVs, which are expected to run with a " near-normal " service. However, in Île-de-France, local traffic will be disrupted.

Several RER and Transilien lines affected
It's especially on the RER lines that train services are set to be quite tricky. On the B line, there will only be one train out of two running to the north and three out of four to the south. SNCF Connect also mentions that there will be no train changes at Gare du Nord. On the D line, only two out of five trains are expected between Creil and Corbeil-Essonnes, and between Goussainville and Melun. There will be one train out of three between Juvisy and Melun. On the E line, three out of four trains will be in service. For lines C, J, and U, expect two out of three trains, while on lines H and N, it will be one out of two. On the Transilien R line, there will be no trains on the Héricy route and only two out of three trains on other routes.
[⚠️Mouvement social national] Jeudi 21 novembre 2024, le trafic sera fortement perturbé sur le #RERB. Prévoir 1 train sur 2 sur la partie nord de la ligne, 3 trains sur 4 sur la partie sud. L'interconnexion à Gare du Nord est maintenue, pas de changement de train nécessaire.
