French : rail authorities have announced that only a few TGV and Intercite services will be running on Tuesday May 8th.
The SNCF announced that three out of every five TGV train services will be operational and three out of every 10 Intercite trains.
The eighth rail strike since April will also see TER regional train services slashed in half and Transilien will run seven out of every ten trains.
International SNCF services will be two thirds operational during this two-day strike, which coincides with a public holiday in France, Victory Day.
The strikes have caused major travel headaches for the 4.5 million daily rail users in France although they are causing less disruption than when they first started on April 3rd when only one in eight TGV services was running.
