The train drivers' strike will reduce Cercanías Madrid services
Semaf calls for walkouts for Renfe and Cercanías Madrid staff, and Cercanías Madrid recommends seeking alternatives. The plan sets minimum services at 75% during peak hours and 50% outside those times; there could also be disruptions to the last trains this Monday.
The Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible has set minimum service levels of 75% of regular train services during peak hours and 50% during the rest of the day affected by the train drivers' strikes.
From 6 to 9 am and from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, 75% of trains will run. The third time slot with this level of service will be from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Outside these hours, half of the usual services will operate.
Cercanías Madrid recommends that travellers look for alternative means of transport. The company has also warned that the last trains on Monday may experience disruptions.
The general strike announced for 11 November could also affect the usual service. For that day, partial stoppages are planned in two time slots: from 6:20 to 9:20 am and from 2:20 to 5:20 pm. The last one will be from 9:20 to 11:20 pm. Cercanías Madrid advises planning journeys in advance and checking the service status on its official channels.
