The strike disrupted eight out of ten Cercanías Madrid services

Renfe reported a 26.6% national participation rate in the 24-hour strike called by the Sindicato Español de Maquinistas Ferroviarios (Semaf). In Cercanías Madrid, 487 out of 599 scheduled services were affected, accounting for 81.3% of the total.

The strike announcement had already led Renfe to implement minimum services and Metro to increase its service, according to information published about the strike. During the morning, Renfe sources told Europa Press that 45.29% of trains had been cancelled and another 33.17% had not departed.

The disruptions also affected commercial services. Renfe cancelled 21 out of 124 scheduled trains on AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed e Intercity, equivalent to 16.9%. Participation by shift was 2.19% overnight and 23.84% in the morning; in the afternoon it reached 34.06%.

In the Madrid network, there were suspensions on the C-1 (Chamartín-Aeropuerto). The C-3 (Aranjuez-Chamartín) and C-4 (Parla-Alcobendas) lines were also interrupted. Later, the C-8 (Guadalajara-Cercedilla) was added, where only one train ran.

The rest of the lines, including the C-2, C-5, C-7 and C-10, experienced delays and route changes. During rush hour, trains ran on the C-5 (Humanes-Móstoles-El Soto) and C-10 (Villaba-Chamartín), though infrequently. On the C-2 (Guadalajara-Chamartín), intervals stretched to around 45 minutes compared to the usual 16.
