SNCF will compensate passengers for train cancellations

SNCF will compensate passengers affected by train cancellations due to a strike over the May 8th holiday weekend. Affected travelers will receive compensation within 30 days. The compensation will be a 50% discount voucher for a future TGV journey, valid until August 29th. The SNCF expects a majority of trains to run despite the strike, with information on cancellations available by Wednesday morning. The strike, called by railway workers over pay and working conditions, impacts approximately 1.8 million travelers. Children's train journeys are guaranteed, and passengers can rebook or cancel tickets.
