En chiffres
The Ministry of Transport of Spain has set the mandatory service rate for high-speed trains (AVE) and long-distance routes at 73% during the strike organized by the Railway Workers' Union on 15 July. This decision means that 249 of the planned 343 trains are protected; whether the remaining 94 trains will operate depends on the strike participation rate. Varying mandatory service limits were also introduced for commuter and medium-distance trains depending on the time of day.
The list of trains at risk of cancellation has been published through the official channels of the Ministry of Transport and Renfe. Passengers are urged to check the information one day before their travel date or on the same morning. In the event a train is cancelled, passengers have the right to receive a full refund of their ticket fare or to make a free ticket change.
The main reason for the strike is the union's claim that Renfe's freight transport division is being deliberately neglected and that the partnership with Medway, a subsidiary of the maritime company MSC, is seen as a secret step toward privatization. If no agreement is reached between the parties, it seems likely that new strike days will be organized throughout the summer season.
