FraserM Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've had notification that my train (10.29 from Paris Est to Metz on Saturday) has been cancelled.

I'm also concerned that the return journey on the Sunday will get cancelled too, meaning I miss my Eurostar. This trip is becoming hard work!

laurataylordu Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 My train from Paris Est to Metz is cancelled Sat morning! Such a pain in the neck. This journey is turning out to be a riot.

f4bes Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I was booked on the TGV from Luxembourg to Metz. This disruption may only effect regional services??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Was 1320 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 11:09 Luxembourg to Metz victim too! Looks like the TER regional trains still running though. Anyone know if it's best to book in advance or can you rock up to the station and purchase? not wanting to book for it to be cancelled, having then to sort out another refund? On that note, any clues how to claim back from SNCF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly on the Metz to Luxembourg route. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4bes Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm on the 10.33 TGV back to Luxembourg on Sunday I did think about the 12.08 TGV but wanted to give myself plenty of time before my flight at 14.55 just in case there were any mishaps.

If push comes to shove we'll just jump on a regional and claim back for our cancelled TGV. Doubt the trains will be groaning full on a Sunday morning, just glad there is a service running and not a total collapse. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4bes Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 By the way a taxi to or from Luxembourg airport from the train station will cost 39€ and takes less than 15mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually need to pick up my ticket in Luxembourg (not a harvester). So i'm hoping I can switch to the regional train then. If not, there's 2 spare seats in my Taxi to Metz. Leaving LUX Station after lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsno1 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Decided not to pre book a train for Saturday. Thought it would be safer to turn up and see what's running. I feel there may be a lot of stranded folk waiting about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 We are booked on the Friday morning 10.48 TGV from aeroport CDG to Metz-Nancy TGV. Still seems to be running, as are others from the airport. These trains don't go into central Paris so worth a shot if anyone stuck. http://uk.voyages-sncf.com/choose-your-outbound-journey tickets just over £50 single.

Bristolhibby Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just translated the advice on the SNCF app. "The information for Friday 3rd June across the network is up to date. For Saturday, 4th June information about your TGV is current. Information for other trains will be available after Friday at 3 in the afternoon. SNCF invite you, if you can, to cancel or postpone your journey." So for Sunday's return trains check back tomorrow after 3. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this email too about the same 13:09 Lux to Metz TGV train, I love how the original French message says cancelled but the English version they included only says there "may" be disruptions. Checking on the SNCF site confirms that it is in fact cancelled. Anyone else in the same boat for the 13:09 from Lux to Metz want to share the cost of alternative transport?
