News monitoringChâtelet–Les Halles — live strike status
Châtelet–Les Halles is the largest underground station in the world and the single point where RER A, B and D all meet. When it is affected, the disruption propagates across the entire Île-de-France network within minutes — and conversely, four of the Métro lines here (1, 4, 14) include the automated ones, so local movement usually survives.
What a strike means on this line
Châtelet–Les Halles is served by RER A, RER B, RER D, Métro 1, Métro 4, Métro 7, Métro 11, Métro 14. During a strike these are affected independently — RATP Métro lines follow RATP notices while mainline and Transilien services follow SNCF ones, so part of the station can be working normally while another part is closed.
