The CP strikes are back, this time on December 6, and the transport company itself has already said that it expects “major disruptions” to traffic.
The note published on the CP – Comboios de Portugal website reads:
Due to a strike called by the SMAQ union (National Union of Portuguese Railway Train Drivers), heavy traffic disruptions are expected on December 6 with an impact on the previous and following days.”
It follows that December 5 (Thursday) and 7 (Saturday) may also be affected, thus affecting several other rail companies such as Fertagus, Metro do Sul do Tejo, ViaPorto, Captrain, Medway and Infraestruturas de Portugal.
As usual, CP has already announced that it will refund in full or exchange for free the tickets purchased for the Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, International, InterRegional and Regional services.
