strike of public people ( mostly the ones which strike ) has very low inpact its more to sustain the french attitudes like the "berêt" and the "baguette" so we have the "strike" for the tourists to enjoy the french revolutionary theatre (:-) they believe that for all problems, the "rich" are the one which should pay a écrit dans le message de news: ...

That's hard to believe. CDG only delaying people half an hour? Can't
be. -- Mary Loomer Oliver (aka Erilar) You can't reason with someone whose first line of argument is that reason doesn't count. --Isaac Asimov Erilar's Cave Annex: http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo* |

You're right.
CDG is hell. We are ashamed of it, despite the TV propaganda. "erilar" a écrit dans le message de ... That's hard to believe. CDG only delaying people half an hour?

Now, there should be roughly at least 1/3 of trafic assured on crucial routes. Nevertheless there was no international night train during 1 night : TRANSPORTS Sur la partie nord du RER B, 35 % du trafic était assuré. Dans les aéroports d'Orly et Roissy, le trafic long-courrier ne devait pas être perturbé mais les vols enregistraient des retards de 30 minutes à une heure en raison de la grève mais aussi du brouillard. 35% des vols à Orly ont été annulés préventivement par les compagnies et 12% à Roissy. Environ 15% des contrôleurs aériens étaient en grève. En Ile-de-France, le trafic était meilleur qu'attendu à la RATP, avec 75 % des métros et 85 % des bus. En moyenne, entre trois rames sur quatre et une rame sur deux circulaient. Sur les lignes 1, 4, 7bis, 11, 13 et 14, le trafic était normal. Selon la CGT, le taux de grévistes à la RATP s'élèvait à 48 % chez les conducteurs du métro et à 97 % chez ceux des RER A et B.

Sur la partie nord du RER B, 35 % du trafic était assuré. Le RER C fonctionnait à 35 % sur la partie nord et 50 % sur la partie sud, le D à 35 % et le E à 65 %. Pour le trafic ferroviaire, la grève a été suivie par 36,7% des agents selon la direction, et 41% selon la CGT. Il y a eu plus de trains que prévu sur le Transilien (Paris-Nord, Montparnasse et Saint-Lazare), en Lorraine et dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Plus de 60% des TGV ont circulé, 50% des Transilien (au lieu de 45% prévus) et 40% des TER, aucun TGV province-province n'a fonctionné. Aucun train de nuit, sur les réseaux national et international, ne circulera dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi. |

Environ 15% des contrôleurs aériens étaient en grève. At the Orly and Roissy [i.e. CDG] airports, long-distance traffic should not have been affected, but flight delays from 30 minutes to an hour were recorded because of the strike and also fog. 35% of flights were canceled by the airlines as a precaution at Orly, and 12% at Roissy. About 15% of air traffic controllers were on strike. En Ile-de-France, le trafic était meilleur qu'attendu à la RATP, avec 75 % des métros et 85 % des bus. En moyenne, entre trois rames sur quatre et une rame sur deux circulaient. Sur les lignes 1, 4, 7bis, 11, 13 et 14, le trafic était normal. Selon la CGT, le taux de grévistes à la RATP s'élèvait à 48 % chez les conducteurs du métro et à 97 % chez ceux des RER A et B. In Ile-de-France (the Paris region), service was better than expected on the RATP, with 75% of Metro trains and 85% of buses. On average, between 3/4 and 1/2 of the trains were operating. On lines 1, 4, 7-bis, 11, 13, and 14, traffic was normal. According to the CGT (the union), the rate of strikers on the RATP rose to 48% among Metro drivers and 97% on RER lines A and B. Mais de très fortes perturbations ont affecté les RER, notamment sur la ligne A (un train sur cinq) et le tronçon sud du RER B (deux trains en circulation). Sur la partie nord du RER B, 35 % du trafic était assuré. Le RER C fonctionnait à 35 % sur la partie nord et 50 % sur la partie sud, le D à 35 % et le E à 65 %. But the RER was very strongly disrupted, notably on Line A (one train out of five) and the south part of Line B (two trains operating). On the north part of RER Line B, 35% of service was provided. Line C operated at 35% on the north part and 50% on the south part; D, at 35%; and E, at 65%. Pour le trafic ferroviaire, la grève a été suivie par 36,7% des agents selon la direction, et 41% selon la CGT. Il y a eu plus de trains que prévu sur le Transilien (Paris-Nord, Montparnasse et Saint-Lazare), en Lorraine et dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Plus de 60% des TGV ont circulé, 50% des Transilien (au lieu de 45% prévus) et 40% des TER, aucun TGV province-province n'a fonctionné. Aucun train de nuit, sur les réseaux national et international, ne circulera dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi. As to railway services, 36.7% of agents joined the strike according to the management, and 41% according to the union. There were more trains than expected on the Transilien (Ile-de-France services) at Paris Nord, Montparnasse, and St-Lazare stations, and in Lorraine and the Nord - Pas-de-Calais district. Over 60% of TGVs were running, 50% of Transilien trains (rather than 45% as expected), and 40% of TER (regional) trains. There were no province-to-province TGVs (i.e. those not serving Paris) operating, and no night trains operated Thursday night on either the national or international networks.
