Overview
- Transport officials and CCOO, UGT and Semaf agreed to increase rail maintenance investment by about €1.8 billion across five years and create roughly 3,600–3,650 jobs at Adif and Renfe.
- Minority unions CGT and Sindicato Ferroviario have not signed the pact, so full service restoration depends on pending ratifications and early operating adjustments.
- Day one of the stoppage brought widespread disruption, with around 955 cancellations planned across the three days and reports of missed minimum-service targets in key nodes such as Madrid and Catalonia.
- Participation figures were sharply disputed, with Semaf citing near-total follow-through by staff not assigned to minimum services and Renfe reporting about 11.6% adherence in the morning shift.
- Government minimum-service levels covered 73% of high-speed and long-distance, 65% of medium distance, Cercanías at 75% in peak and 50% off-peak, and 21% of freight, while regions reinforced buses to ease crowding.
