News monitoringRER E — Haussmann–Saint-Lazare / Nanterre–La Folie ↔ Chelles–Gournay / Tournan
The RER E is the newest and least crowded RER line, extended west to Nanterre–La Folie via La Défense and Porte Maillot in 2024. Because it is modern, SNCF-operated and lightly loaded, it often remains the most usable east–west option on a strike day.
What a strike means on this line
The RER E 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.
Key stations on the line
- Nanterre–La Folie
- La Défense
