Spain's Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has set Renfe's minimum services for the general strike called for Wednesday, November 11 across Spain: at least 75% of Cercanías commuter trains will run at peak hours and 50% during the rest of the day, according to the ministry's press release published on Monday and reported by elDiario.es and Europa Press.
Peak hours run from 06:00 to 09:00, from 13:30 to 15:30 and from 18:30 to 20:30, according to the same sources. On medium-distance services the minimum is an average of 65%; on high-speed and long-distance services, 73%, and on freight, 26% of scheduled services.
In Rodalies de Catalunya the minimums are decreed by the Catalan government, and they are lower: 25% of normal service from 6:30 to 9:30 and from 16:30 to 21:00, and no trains during the rest of the day, Rodalies says on its website.
The train drivers' union Semaf is also holding its own strike on Tuesday 10 and Thursday 12 November, according to Europa Press. Renfe will soon announce the minimum services for Thursday on Rodalies, according to the service's website, and recommends checking timetables before travelling.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
