Rodalies services across Catalonia faced significant disruption on Sunday morning, 8 November, with lines R1, R2, R4, R11, and Regionales Sur reporting delays. Renfe attributed the issues to an operational incident, while the R8 line saw delays over 20 minutes.
The disruption follows similar delays on Saturday and is reportedly linked to new driver work shifts. These shifts were implemented by Renfe after an agreement with the Semaf union collapsed. The changes have caused widespread instability across the network.
Commuters face further chaos as Semaf and Alferro unions have called for strikes on 10 and 12 November, with a general strike set for 11 November. Minimum services of 66% are mandated during peak hours to mitigate the impact on the region's transport links.
