Train strikes in various regions are ongoing with different timelines and reasons for industrial actions. Here are some key details about when these strikes could end or what is expected:
- In France, major SNCF train strikes are scheduled for September 10 and a general national strike on September 18, 2025. The strikes are protests against government budget plans and austerity measures. Service disruptions are expected primarily around these dates, with some services resuming afterward, but further strikes may depend on negotiations and government responses.
- In London, the recent London Underground strikes caused major disruptions but ended on September 12, 2025. Future strikes depend on ongoing negotiations between unions and Transport for London (TfL). Any new strike mandate requires union member approval and official notice to TfL, meaning immediate strikes are unlikely without further developments.
- In the UK more broadly, including train drivers at CrossCountry, there are planned strikes and ongoing disputes that could affect services in the coming months, including into October 2025 and beyond depending on labor negotiations.
- In Italy, strike actions can affect rail services, especially after summer strike bans are lifted, but current details focus on September strikes without a definitive end date.
Overall, the exact end date for train strikes varies by country, union, and ongoing labor negotiations. Some strikes have ended or paused as of mid- September 2025, but large-scale strikes in France are still expected mid- September, and other UK strikes may resume based on union votes and negotiation outcomes. The situation remains fluid and depends on forthcoming talks between unions and employers/governments.
