TGV Conductor's Death on Christmas Eve Sparks Mourning and Investigations

Bruno Rejony, a respected SNCF driver and union leader, is remembered as questions remain over the circumstances of his death.

Bruno Rejony, a 52-year-old TGV conductor and active CGT union member, died on Christmas Eve after exiting his moving train in Seine-et-Marne.
While initial reports suggest suicide, colleagues and union members emphasize the lack of conclusive evidence, with both judicial and internal investigations ongoing.
Rejony was known for his dedication to defending railway workers' rights and mentoring younger colleagues, leaving a significant impact on the SNCF community.
Over 300 people attended his funeral in Saint-Étienne, including family, friends, and union representatives, with tributes highlighting his generosity and commitment to his profession.
The CGT criticized the Transport Minister and SNCF leadership for premature statements about the incident, calling for restraint until investigations are complete.
