The strike will reduce Cercanías Madrid trains throughout Tuesday

Minimum services will keep 75% of trains running during peak hours and half for the rest of Tuesday. Cercanías Madrid also warns of possible disruptions to the last trains on Monday and of impacts before Thursday's stoppages.

During peak hours this Tuesday, 75% of the usual Cercanías Madrid trains will run; outside those times, half will operate. The Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible has set these minimum services for the strike day.

The highest percentage will apply from 6 to 9 am. It will also be in effect from 1:30 to 3:30 pm and from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The strike called by the Sindicato Español de Maquinistas Ferroviarios (Semaf) affects staff in the Renfe group.

Cercanías Madrid has warned on X that the service will be heavily affected. The last trains on Monday may also experience disruptions.

The usual service may be affected during the general strike called for 11N, before the second day of stoppages on Thursday. That day will see partial stoppages: the first slot will be from 6:20 to 9:20 am; the second, from 2:20 to 5:20 pm. The last is set from 9:20 to 11:20 pm.

In a separate issue, C-5 is scheduled to run less frequently than usual for four mornings due to maintenance, according to the changes announced for C-5.

Cercanías recommends planning journeys in advance and checking the service status on its official channels.
