A BIG national strike will bring disruption to public transport, schools and other parts of the public and private sector tomorrow.

Transport
The SNCF rail walkout begins at 20.00 on Monday night and services are not expected to return to normal until 8.00 on Wednesday morning.

Here are the latest service level estimates - although you should check locally before travelling:
Transilien (Ile-de-France suburban trains): 45% of trains running
TER regional services: 35% to 70% depending on region
Main lines to the east of Paris: "almost zero" service
Other TGVs: 65%
Eurostar/Thalys: normal service

Passengers wanting to cancel their journey can get a full refund on their ticket without any fees, regardless of the type of ticket.

Travellers can also choose an alternative train to the one they are booked on - but there is no guarantee of a seat.

In Paris, most RER and metro lines are expecting minor delays. RER B will be the most disrupted. There will be a near-normal service on the buses in Paris, although some walkouts are planned by public transport workers in other French towns and cities.
