Strike action to hit Léman Express

Tuesday, 5 July 2022 06:30

Commuters are being warned there could be disruption on the Léman Express tomorrow as French train drivers are expected to strike.

Industrial action is due to start this evening and end Thursday morning.

But it’s hoped peak-time trains on the Swiss side of the cross-border network will run according to the timetable.

The lines in France are expected to close – as will Annemasse train station. Replacement buses will fill the gaps.

Commuters are being urged to work from home tomorrow if possible or use the tram to get into Geneva.
