The RER A and C lines are experiencing service disruptions this Thursday morning, December 18, 2025, in Seine-et-Marne and Essonne. Meanwhile, lines N and U are also affected in Yvelines due to various technical issues. Here’s what you need to know.

The challenging week continues for commuters across Île-de-France. This Thursday morning, both the RER A and the RER C are experiencing service disruptions along several sections in Seine-et-Marne and Essonne. Meanwhile, the Transilien N and U lines are encountering difficulties in Yvelines. Technical issues are affecting thousands of travelers this December morning.

On Line A of the RER, train traffic is halted between Noisy-le-Grand – Mont d'Est and Noisiel in the direction of Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy. The disruption is caused by a stalled train at Noisy-Champs. The SNCF expects service to resume around 8:30 a.m. This section of the line was already disrupted last Tuesday following a serious incident involving a person, highlighting how vulnerable this heavily used stretch of the line can be.

Why Is the RER C Currently Stalled Between Massy-Palaiseau and Pont-de-Rungis?

On the RER C line, no trains are currently running between Massy-Palaiseau and Pont-de-Rungis due to a technical issue with a train in the Igny area. The railway company reports that the train experienced an electrical problem and had to stop near Massy-Verrières. The driver carried out safety checks and summoned assistance to tow the train with another locomotive. As a result, the section around Massy-Palaiseau is completely shut down. Service is expected to resume around 8:35 a.m.

Which other lines are disrupted in Île-de-France?

Problems don’t end there for the Île-de-France network. The RER E line is also experiencing disruptions along its entire route due to a train breakdown at Neuilly-Porte-Maillot. Commuters are advised to be patient and expect longer travel times.

Regarding the Transilien network, train service is disrupted across all Line N and Line U trains after a signaling failure in Trappes, Yvelines. These technical issues are causing widespread delays, making travel particularly difficult for commuters this morning.

To stay updated on the latest developments in real time, we recommend visiting the official websites Transilien or Île-de-France Mobilités, or using their mobile app, which offers live alerts. SNCF teams are working diligently to restore service as quickly as possible and minimize inconvenience to travelers. In the meantime, consider alternative routes or postponing your trips if feasible.
