The week is off to a difficult start for train travellers in Spain. Renfe has been forced to cancel a total of 320 services on Monday 29 June due to the strike called by the Railway Union (SF), a stoppage that comes just as many workers begin their summer holidays.
Despite the strike call, the minimum services set by the Ministry of Transport will ensure much of the operation goes ahead. On high-speed and long-distance routes, 262 trains will run, equivalent to 73% of normal capacity. On medium-distance services, 420 trains will be maintained, around 65% of those planned.
