Train Strikes Cause Travel Disruptions in France

On June 10, 2026, France is facing widespread travel disruptions as its four major railway unions—CGT-Cheminots, UNSA-Ferroviaire, SUD-Rail, and CFDT-Cheminots—launched a 24-hour strike.
Approximately one-third of TGV high-speed trains and half of the Intercités services have been cancelled.
The unions are protesting against SNCF restructuring, demanding salary increases to combat inflation, and calling for better workplace safety measures following a concerning rise in accidents.
This collective action represents a major test for SNCF CEO Jean Castex.
Travelers are encouraged to use the SNCFConnect app for the latest updates and ticket flexibility, as the situation remains volatile.
Affected passengers are eligible for full refunds or free exchanges.
