Workers are demanding index linked pay rises to counter the cost of living.
The TPG say services today will be fewer than yesterday as they haven’t had a chance to bring in an emergency timetable. The company says it takes ten days to make such arrangements.
Strikers and their supporters marched through the centre of town yesterday afternoon. Around 1,000 gathered on the Place de Neuve to hear speeches from union leaders.
