The SNCF, France's national railway company, advised travellers to cancel or rearrange any train journeys planned for Wednesday or Thursday if possible, due to disruptions from the strike.

The TGV Atlantique, Sud Ouest and Nord lines will be particularly hard hit, with just half of the normal service running, while the eastern line should be unaffected by strikes.
Twenty percent of Ouigo trains are not running, and 60 percent of Intercité trains are cancelled during the day, with none at all running at night.
