The wildcat strike action began last week after a dispute over working hours at a maintenance depot for TGV trains running in western France. While the train company managed to keep the majority of trains running during the four-day action last week, it says services will be more severely impacted from Monday. With hundreds of TGV trains blocked in the depot, only three in 10 trains will be running on the routes between Paris Montparnasse and Bordeaux, Rennes, Toulouse, Nantes and Saint-Malo. The trains that do run are expected to be exceptionally busy, so SNCF is advising people not to travel unless absolutely necessary. This latest strike action concerns an agreement over rest days for maintenance workers at the Châtillon maintenance centre.
