One day before starting the strike days planned for the days of November 24 and 30 and December 1, 4 and 5 given the uncertainty generated in the templates by the Rodalies transfer agreed between PSOE and ERCmany users have reported that the effects due to delays and cancellations have been brought forward and they have started today Thursday, November 23.
Trains that have not passedstops at stations before the final destination, convoys full of inaccessible people and a lot disinformation. These are the main complaints of the Renfe users during the morning of this Thursday, the day before the first day of strike.
One of those affected, Marta Herrero, explained to THE NEWSPAPER who has not been able to catch two of the trains that have passed through the station Sant Andreu destination Castelldefels because “there was no room for anyone else”. Since 8:15 a.m. she has been waiting to get on a train: “I have been waiting for an hour because the two trains that have passed in that time could not get on, “People were drowning and many users came down early to be able to breathe.”he comments.
I thought that the Rodalies Renfe laziness started too but the trains, for a change, didn’t work either. Whoever says, how will we know if they are vague or if they are working with normality? If it is impossible to differentiate-ho. What shame of people and service.

Problems with the drivers
The most serious effects have taken place during the morning rush hour, around 8 a.m. At that time, the application of ADIF was not workingso users could not check train schedules or frequency of passage.
From the program of ‘Matí de Catalunya Radio’ They assure that sources close to Renfe confirm that what happened early today is “a previous consequence of the strike” and they recognize that there is many drivers who have not shown up to their jobs. Information that Renfe has denied to PERIÓDICO, ensuring that the company has not noticed a lack of workers today. “There have been specific damages to the lines, but we are not aware of a lack of workers,” they point out.
