C-5 trains will run less frequently over four mornings
C-5 passengers will need to allow extra time for their journeys at the start of four days in November. Renfe expects lower than usual frequencies until 8:30 am, while works on the A-5 restrict traffic.
The closure of a section of the A-5 will begin on 10 November and continue until 23 December, according to information from the Ayuntamiento de Madrid. During four mornings in this period, travellers on the C-5 will also experience changes to the rail service.
Services will run less frequently than usual until 8:30 am on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November. The same change will occur on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22.
Maintenance focused on early hours
Adif will carry out maintenance work on the rail infrastructure. Renfe has scheduled the interventions for weekends to minimise inconvenience to travellers, at dates that coincide with traffic restrictions due to the A-5 underground works.
Saturday 14 November: reduced frequency until 8:30 am.
Sunday 15 November: train schedules adjusted during the early hours.
Saturday 21 November: reduced frequency until 8:30 am.
Sunday 22 November: changes during the first part of the morning.
Renfe notes that the period of disruption each day will end after 8:30 am. The company recommends checking timetables before travelling.
Information will be available through several channels
From 9 November, Renfe will share updates via station staff and announcements on trains and at stations. Informational posters have also been put up.
Timetables can be checked on Renfe’s official website and its social media profiles, especially on X. The company also provides information through the WhatsApp de Cercanías Madrid channel.
In another practical notice for November, employees can check the permissions for voting scheduled for 29 November.
Adif is planning further maintenance work on the C-5 infrastructure during December. For now, dates and details of this work have not been specified.
