# Madrid rail strike suspends three Cercanías lines 29 October 2026 at 12:12 > Commuters face major disruption as Semaf union walkouts halt C-1, C-3 and C-4 services while Metro de Madrid increases train frequency. Commuters in the capital face significant disruption today as the C-1, C-3, and C-4 lines of the **Cercanías Madrid** network are suspended. The 24-hour walkout, staged by the **Semaf** union, affects all companies within the **Renfe** group throughout this Thursday. The **Ministry of Transport** has mandated minimum services of between 50% and 75% across the suburban rail network. Despite these measures, Cercanías Madrid reports widespread delays and route modifications on all remaining lines still operating in the region. To mitigate the impact of the industrial action, **Metro de Madrid** has deployed all available trains during rush hour to manage increased demand. This strike highlights ongoing tensions as rail operators struggle to maintain essential transport links for users. #CercaniasMadrid [#RenfeStrike]() [#MadridTransport]() [#Semaf]() #MetroDeMadrid ## Related news ## [Court suspends Ouigo minimum services for strike]() 29 October 2026 at 18:47 ## [Renfe drivers call 24-hour strike over safety]() 28 October 2026 at 18:42 ## [Renfe train drivers to strike this Thursday]() 26 October 2026 at 16:58 ## [Sol Metro station reopens after cleaning closure]() 18 October 2026 at 08:35 ## [Renfe and Ouigo drivers announce October strikes]() 16 October 2026 at 19:56
