SNCB: Traffic will be severely disrupted on rail July 10th and 11th

Belgium

The strike announced on 10 and 11 July will have serious repercussions on rail traffic, warned Sunday the SNCB. Only one in three trains is expected to be driven.

The Independent Railway Workers' Union (SIC) has filed a strike notice for the period of July 10th from 3:00 am to July 12th, same time.

He is supported in his action by the union Metisp-Protect and the Autonomous Union of Train Drivers (SACT).

The minimum service introduced at SNCB will, however, enable the company to draw up an alternative plan on the basis of available personnel.

Tuesday, one train out of three should roll. "Rush hours will be privileged as well as IC trains connecting major cities," said a spokesman for the SNCB.

No additional train will be put into service towards the coast. By consulting the "route planner" of the company, the travelers of Tuesday will be able to see if their train rolls on Monday morning. SNCB will then prepare a schedule for Wednesday.
