TRANSPORT - A demonstration took place Thursday in a Paris railway station against the conditions of rail travel ... users organize
"Moo! I'm tired of being cattle! "Thursday, hundreds of passengers of the Paris-Rouen and Paris-Cherbourg demonstrated in front of the Gare Saint-Lazare (8th) to the sound of cowbells. They live on the edge of the Ile-de-France, Bueil, Vernon and Mantes-la-Jolie, and work in Paris. Together in associations, they will stop at nothing to get their ras-le-bol delays (see sidebar).
few weeks ago, subscribers received compensation TGV SNCF's after Federated between lines. Since then, the idea that unity is strength is gaining ground. On Thursday, four associations exhibited together. "The users have no institutionalized mode of action, so they must be inventive," said Louis Gomez, chair of users of West Paris region. This type of gathering is the time: it remains independent, and you end up on some causes. "
Association associations
But the star remains the protest refusing to show his ticket. A weapon was born in the 2000s, often unsheathed lines of Saint-Lazare. And others, like Paris, Nevers, where travelers make the "strike of control" over the past two months. "The SNCF muscular response with controls docked, sighs Alexander Blandin, the Association of Berry-Nivernais rail users. But the last time we managed to stop us gathering. "
SNCF indeed difficult to respond to this challenge organized. "There are more and more encounters between railway workers and consumers, said Jean-Claude Delarue, President of the Federation of Transport Users. These controls limit the deterrent. "" We work with associations for four or five years, said Eric Bezou, SUD-Rail. We too suffer from the degradation of service. A year ago, we partner with our users anniversary of the closure of St. Lazarus. And today, we support them. "
