Bordeaux tram stike

My daughter has sent me a text from her (French) boarding school, asking if the trains are on strike tomorrow (Wednesday 7th) because she is coming home.  Presumably she must have heard a rumour.

It's too late to watch the TV news.  Does anyone know the answer?

Thanks Clair - a useful site.

I've received a text to say that Bordeaux tramways are on strike tomorrow so maybe that is what it is.

Cendrillon - I was looking at trains on Saturday and was diverted from Bordeaux to Libourne.  I didn't twig why until I read your post, even though I was the original poster.

Clair's website says (I think) that all will be back to normal today (11th).  But the lunchtime radio news was suggesting otherwise.

From the website I understand they are doing major engineering / maintenance work. I have the impression that all will be back to normal on Tuesday and that they are still working on Monday which of course is a bank holiday in France.

 

Brilliant website Clair, I have bookmarked it.
