French strikes, is Annemasse affected?

[peteb]

I'm hoping to do some SNCF loco haulage after Easter to coincide with diversions on the Rhone. I'm planning to base at Annemasse near Geneva which has a fantastic train service to Geneva and beyond into Switzerland. BUT.....do these cross border services still run when SNCF and the rest of France is on strike/protesting?

I once stayed there during an SNCF strike. The suburban trains (Léman Express) to Geneva ran an almost normal service but the regional services often didn't run.

That's very useful, at the worst I can simply spend a few days touring Switzerland instead!

And in case it does get distorted and you get stuck: Anm also has one of the very, very few INTernational tramlinks, run by Swiss TPG-payable if holding passes, so there will be an escape.

Sounds as though this the place to stay to hedge my bets
