Workers at Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) have agreed to call partial strikes to demand improvements in the safety of the island's rail network. The decision was made at a meeting held today at midday following the fatal accidents in Adamuz (Córdoba) and Gelida (Barcelona), according to the SFM works council. The approximately 70 workers, out of a total of 190, who participated in the meeting expressed their overwhelming support for the call for partial strikes. Only four votes were cast against. The works council will meet on Wednesday to finalize the details of the protests, which will begin with low-intensity actions to minimize disruption to passengers. The sources consulted indicated that it would be desirable for an agreement to be reached with the Government to implement the demanded safety improvements before these partial strikes could take place (which could begin ten days after the ballot was registered with the Tamib). The assembly, despite the willingness to reach an agreement with the public company, was "phlegmatic" and served as a platform for workers to outline the problems identified in each of SFM's areas. Shortly before the meeting, the president of the works council, Ricardo Más, had already assumed that the workers would demand the calling of the partial strikes. "After so long being ignored, the only thing left for us is collective action," he emphasized. "If the company doesn't want this to affect users, we must sit down and talk about safety improvements," he added.

The works council of Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) has called a general assembly of workers for next Monday to assess the possibility of calling work stoppages and other pressure tactics to demand safety guarantees. The meeting comes days after the train accidents in Adamuz (Córdoba), in which at least 43 people lost their lives, and in Gelida (Barcelona), where a train driver died, as well as shortly after the Spanish Union of Railway Drivers (Semaf) announced a strike. According to a statement from the SFM works council, the assembly will serve to analyze the current situation and evaluate measures that guarantee "real safety, adequate maintenance, and safe working conditions."

The works council of Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) expressed on Monday its "deep sorrow and dismay" at the serious train accident that occurred in Adamuz, a tragedy they feel "as their own" and for which they send all their support to the victims, their families and the workers of Renfe and Iryo.

Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) has announced a doubling of the investment allocated to its new passenger information and assistance service. This service, part of a contract valid until 2030, will introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) system to provide automated responses to the most common queries. The contract allocates €1.16 million for the first two years, with the possibility of further increases, compared to the €483,418 budgeted for the 2020-2024 period. According to the Ministry of Mobility, this increase will allow for a shift towards a more comprehensive, accessible model, better adapted to the real needs of rail network users. Once the new framework is in effect, passenger information and assistance will be provided continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with a faster response to incidents, timetable changes, or complaints. In addition, the service will expand its communication channels: screens and public address systems in stations, information systems on trains, a website, social media (Instagram and X), WhatsApp, and telephone support. The AI system will provide immediate and automated answers to frequently asked questions with an intuitive, multilingual design accessible to people with disabilities. Information coordination with the TIB bus service will also be strengthened to offer consistent and up-to-date information to users combining different modes of transport. The budget increase will allow for extended service hours, enhanced coverage during peak periods, and improved continuous monitoring of facilities, with the aim of reducing service disruptions and increasing the reliability and safety of the network.

Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) will implement a review and update of train and metro timetables starting next Monday, November 17th, with the aim of adjusting them to current service conditions and improving punctuality, reliability, and overall quality of public rail transport.

The adjustments are based on real data collected over the last six months and have taken into account various factors, such as the bridge replacement works on Calle del Greco, near the Verge de Lluc station (Palma), increased train occupancy, changes in speed and timing, single-track sections, and stations experiencing growing passenger demand.

"When I'm lucky, I catch the train two or three minutes late. Then I feel lucky." So says Marta, a daily train user who has accepted that delays are a normal part of the rail service. Every morning, the platforms in the municipalities on the train are filled with people tensely staring at the supposedly informative screen, and there have been days, like this Wednesday, when even the time on the clocks is unreliable. When Marta arrived to take the train, the screen showed 9:22 a.m. The problem was that it was 9:34 a.m. "Will she be late based on the time on the screen or the real time?" she asked a worker who shrugged her back in ignorance, albeit with a very friendly smile.
