Now this is a first!

French national rail (SNCF) commuters on the Angers-Le Mans-Paris are so sick of worsening service that THEY'VE decided to strike.

What next!!

To protest lousy service, 160 - 200 commuters who regularly take the line are refusing to show their tickets or travel cards. They gather together wearing badges that say: "Abonnés en grève".

Thousands of passengers have already signed a petition against the terrible service. According to the movement's spokesperson, Pascal Mignot, the controllers are "très compréhensifs".

Users are demanding that the SNCF indemnify them, and trying to spread the movement to more lines: Lille-Paris, Tours-Paris, Reims-Paris et Lyon-Paris".
