Heatwave: Train cancellations planned from Monday on the Île-de-France network, IDFM invites to 'postpone' travel

Parisian public transport faces significant disruptions starting Monday, June 22, as Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) implements an adapted service plan due to an exceptional heatwave. The transport authority stated that the regional rail network will be particularly impacted by the "exceptional, even historic" temperatures forecast for the Île-de-France region.

To safeguard railway installations, train cars, and ensure service continuity, IDFM will adjust the transport schedule. Train cancellations are expected on several lines, with the RER B line being particularly affected. Other lines including RER C, D, and E, along with Transilien lines H, J, K, L, N, P, R, U, and V, will also experience reduced traffic. The RER A line is anticipated to operate normally.

IDFM urges passengers to verify traffic conditions before their departure using real-time information applications and tools. The authority strongly advises travelers, particularly those who are vulnerable, to postpone their journeys if possible. This measure aims to mitigate the risks associated with extreme heat on both the infrastructure and passengers.
