We will be in touch
A friend who is stuck in Grenoble due to the whole 'flights / ash' situation has found that there is a train strike in France, but can't seem to get much information.
Does anyone have any info about this - especially how long they will be striking for, and does it affect all trains?
My mate got a bus from Barcelona to Marseilles yesterday, then a night train to Paris. The short phone call I had from him he mentioned something about a french strike meant he had to do the first bit by bus. Not sure if it's just the Spain - France border bit though.
Now he's in Paris, he's managed to get on the next available eurostar - Wednesday night (and 1st class only!)
My Sister is in Barcelona, trying to get a train to Paris and then euroinflatedpricesstar and the Spanish train stations will only sell to the border

dont suppose you have a link of where to sort out a booking for the bus?
Unfortunately not. I'll ask him when he phones in again.
What I can tell you is that there's no point in rushing to Paris for a euro$tar train before Wednesday evening. He got a 1st class seat, and it was about fully booked then (17:00 train).
He's a bit of a luddite, and hasn't got a mobile phone so I can't call him. (And he's a telecomms engineer!)
