Thanks for the posting.

The Somain railway workers held a demonstration last weekend in Lille.

400 jobs are threatened with closure of yard.

Feeble SNCF say they will turn Somain into a "RailPort", which will save

hardly any of those 400 jobs. "RailPort" just a trendy name for a loading/unloading point. In reality it means one train to arrive a day at Somain!!!

Just ridiculous propaganda by SNCF.

Le triage SNCF de Somain doit vivre.
