News monitoringRER D — Orry-la-Ville–Coye / Creil ↔ Melun / Corbeil-Essonnes / Malesherbes
The RER D is the longest RER line and runs through the single-track Châtelet tunnel shared with the RER B, which is why a small incident or a partial strike cascades along the whole line. It is entirely SNCF-operated, so it follows SNCF strike notices rather than RATP ones.
What a strike means on this line
The RER D is operated by SNCF, so it is affected by SNCF strike notices. On a strike day expect outer branches to be suspended first, with a reduced service maintained on the central section.
🚧 Planned works interrupt the RER D between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon in summer 2026 — see the dedicated RER D travaux page.
