Train drivers in the Spanish capital, Madrid, went on strike for 24 hours, to demand the strengthening of safety measures on the train following two fatal accidents during the year 2026.
The strike causes extensive flight cancellations and severe congestion at train stations, especially during the morning rush hour.
The two accidents resulted in the death of 115 people, 46 near Adams last January and 69 in Toledo County.
Two more strikes are planned for November 12 and 17.
