Gare du Nord is served by RER B, RER D, Métro 4, Métro 5, Transilien H & K, Eurostar, TGV Nord. 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.
