Île-de-France is set to face significant transportation disruptions from January 27 to February 2, 2025, as numerous Métro, tram, and Transilien lines undergo extensive maintenance and modernization work. The disruptions will affect various lines, most prominently line 14, RER C, and line P, as passengers prepare for altered travel during this period.
According to Hervé Vila for 20 Minutes, the RATP and SNCF are implementing modifications to their usual schedules, which include nighttime closures aimed at minimizing disruptions during peak hours. The reported changes will be particularly noticeable on line 6, where services will be halted entirely from January 27 through January 29, beginning at 10 PM due to substantial upgrades.
Meanwhile, line 9 will also face interruptions on February 2, with services completely suspended as work crews tackle infrastructure improvements. Replacement bus services will be available, offering transport between key stations such as Pont de Sèvres and Michel-Ange – Auteuil.
Line 14 will witness multiple interruptions as well. Specifically, services will cease between Maison-Blanche and Saint-Denis – Pleyel on January 27 and 28 after 10 PM. Passengers are advised to utilize substitution buses running between Gare de Lyon and Olympiades during these hours.
The RER network, which is integral to Ile-de-France transportation, will also experience significant changes. RER B’s traffic will stop completely from January 27 to January 30, after 10:45 PM, affecting travel between Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 – TGV and Gare du Nord. Buses will be dispatched to manage this route during the closure.
Similarly, RER C will see interruptions from January 27 through January 31, with multiple segments of the line experiencing disruptions, particularly between Paris Austerlitz and Pont de Rungis, starting at 11 PM each evening. Passengers will have alternate bus options as they navigate this major closure.
RER D will also feel the impact from January 27 to February 1, with traffic halted between Gare de Lyon and Melun/Corbeil-Essonnes after 11:15 PM. Commuters traveling from Paris Gare du Nord to Creil will find their services disrupted from 11:35 PM during this timeframe as well.
For those using RER E, interruptions will begin at 10:25 PM from January 27 to January 31 affecting travel between Nanterre-La-Folie and Villiers-sur-Marne, along with additional sections across the line experiencing closures.
The Transilien lines are not spared either. For example, line J will be out of service from January 27 to January 31 after 9:40 PM, impacting trips between Gare Saint-Lazare and Mantes-la-Jolie. Passengers are encouraged to plan alternatives should they require travel along this route.
Notably, line K will halt all services from January 27 until February 1, with no trains running due to the works carried out throughout the line. Buses will serve as backup for affected travel audiences.
Line L offers another layer of disruption, with services cut off between La Défense and Versailles Rive Droite beginning at 10:10 PM running through January 31. Once again, replacement bus services will be deployed to help mitigate travel interruptions.
Travelers on line P will face challenges as well, starting January 27 and lasting until February 2, with service disruptions outlined to begin from 9:45 PM as trains stop running between Gare de l’Est and various endpoints, including Provins and Coulommiers.
Even the tram services are set to experience extensive suspensions. Tram T1 will have its operations suspended between Gare de Noisy-le-Sec and Escadrille Normandie-Niémen until March 31, 2025, alongside T4, which will see reduced services for about the same length of time due to construction activities.
Consequently, the incoming week will be challenging for commuters as various modes of transport across Île-de-France suspend service. Users are urged to consult RATP and SNCF’s websites for live updates and plan alternate travel routes as necessary.
While these disruptions are inconvenient, they aim to modernize and improve the transport infrastructure, paving the way for more reliable future services.
