On Monday afternoon, the SNCF has published its forecasts for the strike on 18 october. According to the rail company, business travellers should experience limited disruption on the main routes. As a result international lines will have little or no impact, particularly on networks EurostarThalys and Lyria. SNCF expects traffic to "near-normal.

Similarly, the TGV Inoui and Ouigo should only be " slightly disturbed" . SNCF expects traffic to be almost normal on the TGV Nord, Est and Sud-Est. And operations will be slightly disrupted on the Ouigo network and the TGV Atlantique.
