07/03/2018
THE Women's Day strike across Spain on Thursday this week (March 8) will affect rail traffic along with many other areas of service – so far, 300 trains have been cancelled, reports transport board RENFE.
'Minimum service' requirements dictate that 75% of trains will be running during rush hour, but 105 high-speed AVE and long-distance links and 199 medium-distance routes have been axed all day tomorrow.
A total of 72% of AVE and long-distance trains will run and 68% of medium-distance routes.
For the Cercanías, or outer suburban lines, 75% will run during the rush hours and 50% the rest of the day.
Anyone who has already booked to travel tomorrow has the right to be placed on another train free of charge on the same day where possible, or to change their ticket for another day without charge or reclaim a full refund.
