# Renfe drivers call 24-hour strike over safety 28 October 2026 at 18:42 > Semaf union announces nationwide industrial action on 29 October following a fatal train collision in Toledo and safety protocol disputes. The **Sindicato Español de Maquinistas Ferroviarios** (Semaf) has called a 24-hour strike for Thursday, 29 October 2026, affecting all driving personnel across **Grupo Renfe**. The action follows a fatal collision in **Urda, Toledo**, which left at least 30 people dead. The union cites an administrative blockade of safety agreements and demands binding protocols for weather alerts and risk communications. The **Ministry of Transport** has set minimum services, including 75% for Cercanías at peak hours and 73% for high-speed trains. This industrial action highlights concerns over railway safety following the second serious accident in ten months. Beyond safety protocols, Semaf is seeking the unblocking of retirement age coefficients and the correct application of driving time interruptions. **Toledo** [#Renfe]() #SpainStrike #RailwaySafety [#Semaf]() [#TrainTravel]() ## Related news ## [Court suspends Ouigo minimum services for strike]() 29 October 2026 at 18:47 ## [Madrid rail strike suspends three Cercanías lines]() 29 October 2026 at 12:12 ## [AVE and Iryo trains collide in Urda, Toledo]() 29 October 2026 at 11:33 ## [At least 50 dead in Toledo high-speed rail crash]() 28 October 2026 at 14:46 ## [Barcelona-Madrid high-speed rail to resume soon]() 14 October 2026 at 14:00
