The abolition will affect at least 200 trains in the next seven days and is prompted by the compensation for overtime performed by the drivers in 2023. Similarly, Renfe will also reduce supply in Gipuzkoa, in this case due to the TAV work.
The works council of Renfe in Bizkaia denounced this Thursday that in the next seven days at least 200 trains on lines C1, C2 and C3 from Cercanías Bilbao.
The union representation explained in a note that this situation is dictated by the compensation for too many hours from 2023 carried out by the drivers. According to the commission, this compensation in Bizkaia “is being carried out hastily in just four months” due to “poor management of existing human resources by the management of the Basque Country.”
Similarly, the note indicates that unions warned of the impending problem two months ago and tried to find solutions, but management, they add, “turned a deaf ear.”
The supply of commuter trains will also decrease Gipuzkoa, the company itself announced last week. In this case, the suppression of trains is due to the work of the high-speed train in the Guipuzcoan section. For example, a new schedule came into effect last Monday on the Irun – Brinkola Cercanías. “The new schedule entails a reduction in the hourly offer, as one lane and a speed limit will be introduced between Hernani and Donostia/San Sebastián, with an increase in travel times on the Andoain-Irun section,” Renfe explains. declaration.
