Strike CalendarRER B — Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 / Mitry-Claye ↔ Robinson / Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse
The RER B is the airport line — it is the direct rail link between central Paris and Charles de Gaulle, and it also serves Orly via the Orlyval shuttle at Antony. It is the single most consequential line on strike days because a disruption here strands air passengers, not just commuters.
What a strike means on this line
The RER B is operated by RATP and SNCF, so it is affected by both RATP and SNCF strike notices — sometimes only one half of the line stops. On a strike day expect outer branches to be suspended first, with a reduced service maintained on the central section.
🚧 Major planned works close part of the RER B in summer 2026 — see the dedicated RER B travaux page for exact dates and closed sections.

Frequently asked questions
Is the RER B running today?
The live panel above answers this for right now — it is refreshed every 30 minutes from official PRIM data. The RER B runs between Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 / Mitry-Claye and Robinson / Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, and during strikes the outer branches are usually cut before the central Paris section.
Who operates the RER B and why does it matter for strikes?
The RER B is operated by RATP and SNCF. That determines which strike notices apply to it: a purely RATP action can stop one part of the line while the SNCF-run branches keep going, and vice versa.
What is the best alternative when the RER B is on strike?
RoissyBus — Opéra to CDG by road — unaffected by rail strikes, but hostage to traffic. If that is also disrupted, métro line 4 is the next option: Driverless and follows the same Gare du Nord–Châtelet–Denfert corridor inside Paris.
Are there planned works on the RER B?
Major planned works close part of the RER B in summer 2026 — see the dedicated RER B travaux page for exact dates and closed sections.
