A planned multi‑day rail strike in Spain was halted after unions reached an agreement with the government addressing safety and infrastructure concerns. The strike had been expected to disrupt travel nationwide, with operators already adjusting schedules and canceling services. Union leaders argued that deteriorating safety conditions and insufficient maintenance required urgent action. The last‑minute deal allowed train services to resume, easing pressure on commuters and travelers.
