Expect a mixed bag when it comes to travel on October 2nd. While high-speed rail (TGV and Ouigo) is operating with near-normal service, significant disruptions are anticipated for regional and local transport. Here’s a breakdown to help you plan your journey.

Generally, TGV and Ouigo trains are running close to schedule. However, regional express trains (TER) face significant challenges.
* Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie: TER services are heavily disrupted.
* Other Regions: Several other regions will experiance TER service interruptions.
* Intercités: Specific Intercités routes, including Lyon-Nantes and marseille-bordeaux, are also affected.
