News monitoringGare de Lyon — live strike status
Gare de Lyon is the gateway to the south of France and to Switzerland and Italy. Both Métro lines serving it — 1 and 14 — are driverless, so you can almost always reach the station even when the RATP network is on strike; it is the mainline TGV departures that get cancelled.
What a strike means on this line
Gare de Lyon is served by RER A, RER D, Métro 1, Métro 14, TGV Sud-Est, Transilien R. 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.
