Renfe has advised travelers on the Cercanías network in Madrid to check schedules before traveling, as the usual train timetable may be affected by the 24-hour general strike called for this Wednesday.
The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has set mandatory minimum services for Cercanías of 75% during the peak-demand time slots, from 06.00 to 09.00 hours, from 13.30 to 15.30 hours and from 18.30 to 20.30 hours. During the rest of the day, the offer will be reduced to around 50% minimum services.
After a day of stoppages by train drivers in the Renfe group this Tuesday, which caused major incidents on the Cercanías network, the company has again warned users through its social media profiles that train services could once again be affected this Wednesday by the 24-hour stoppages.
"It is recommended to plan journeys in advance and consult updated information on the status of the service through our official channels. We thank you for your understanding," the company said in a statement published on its channels.
Meanwhile, with data for the past 8 hours, trains on line C-3 heading toward Chamartín were recording delays and stops, and they could suffer changes to their usual route due to a breakdown on a train at Pinto station.
