# Spain Rail Strikes Expand to Iryo and Ouigo on November 17

> Unions expanded planned November 17 rail strike action to private high-speed operators Iryo and Ouigo, adding them to actions involving Renfe and Adif. The proposed walkouts follow a train collision near Toledo and could affect passenger services and freight operations; separate Renfe driver strikes were also announced for November 10 and 12.

## Why it matters

If freight operations are disrupted, rail delays could raise transport costs or shift cargo to other modes, but the article does not specify effects on feed or grain shipments. The action remains planned rather than completed.
