SNCF strike: read the day, know your rights
What you can see here, what you ask for elsewhere
A strike day raises two different questions: is my train running, and what can I claim. The data here helps with the first without confirming that a train is running. The second is exercised elsewhere, and mixing them up wastes time on the day you have the least of it.
Reading the strike day
The SNCF strike page lists the disruptions SNCF marks as industrial action. An empty list means no matching report is available here, not that no strike is affecting traffic.
For a specific train, check the reported times and cancellations on its page, then the carrier's announcements. A cancellation may affect only some stops; a displayed time does not confirm a passage.
The evening before
On strike days SNCF usually publishes a transport plan by the end of the previous day. Before that publication, a train missing from the feed does not yet mean it is cancelled: the plan may simply not be loaded. On the morning itself, check the carrier's announcements.
Your rights, and where they are exercised
Exchanges and refunds are a relationship between the passenger and the carrier that sold the ticket. During strikes SNCF usually opens fee-free exchange and refund for cancelled trains — the exact conditions depend on the ticket and are shown on the sales channels at the time of the strike.
None of those elements — ticket, fare, file — is in a public feed, and so none is here. The claim is filed with the carrier, using the ticket number.
What this site can support
This site's record preserves what the source reported, not a confirmed passage or a measured final delay. It does not replace a claim, and it is not an official document from the carrier.
How do I know whether my train runs on a strike day?
Check the station or train page for reported times and cancellations, then check the carrier's announcements. A displayed time does not confirm that the train is running.
The SNCF strike page is empty — is it broken?
An empty page means no matching disruption is available here. It guarantees neither the absence of a strike nor the health of the source. Also check the carrier's announcements.
Can this site refund or exchange my ticket?
No. Exchanges and refunds go through the carrier that sold the ticket, using the ticket number. This site records traffic; it has neither your file nor the power to open one.
Is a strike notice a strike?
No. A notice announces a possibility; the page only counts disruptions the feed marks as ongoing industrial action. A text that contains the word 'strike' without that marking does not qualify.
