The train drivers' strike at Renfe and Adif, which began on February 9, 2026, has caused major chaos in the Rodalies network, with the operator claiming that minimum services are not being met.

The strike, scheduled to last for three days, has severely impacted the mobility of users relying on the Rodalies service in the Barcelona area. Information screens at Sants station displayed warnings about the service interruption from early morning.
The railway operator Renfe has publicly claimed that the minimum services decreed by the Ministry of Transport for the stoppage are not being fulfilled. This situation has worsened the chaos across the network, with delays and cancellations exceeding initial forecasts.
This stoppage adds to the recurrent problems suffered by the Rodalies network, a situation that has led to constant complaints from commuters. Workers from Renfe and Adif maintain the protest to demand better working conditions and service improvements.
