Train drivers halt Cercanías and Rodalies in their first strike for railway safety, one day before November 11th

The first strike by Renfe machinists halted Cercanías services in Madrid and Rodalies in Catalonia, with 100% adherence according to the Sindicato de Maquinistas (Semaf) and 91% according to Renfe. The strike, which occurred one day before the general strike, stopped circulation on some lines and affected over 600,000 Cercanías passengers and 12,000 other service passengers. In Madrid, lines C-1, C-2, C-4, C-5, and C-7 were completely halted, while in Catalonia, 50% of Rodalies services were canceled. Renfe estimated that 32.2% of minimum services were canceled and 25.6% of trains did not depart. The strike also affected Avant, AVE, Avlo, and Alvia trains, with cancellations ranging from 23.8% to 64.1%. The strike adherence was 100% according to Semaf, but Renfe described it as "uneven" and denounced the non-compliance with minimum services. Semaf moved the strike to November 23 to negotiate with the Executive.
