Overview

  • The 23-hour walkout began at 3 AM on June 16 and will run until 2 AM on June 17, halting most Trenord regional and suburban services across Lombardy.
  • Called by the Orsa union, the action encompasses Malpensa Express and S50 airport connections as well as local commuter lines.
  • Trenord has guaranteed limited service windows from 6 to 9 AM and 6 to 9 PM, with all other trains at risk of variation or cancellation.
  • Replacement buses are operating directly between Milano Cadorna and Malpensa Airport to cover suspended Malpensa Express trips.
  • A further national rail strike is scheduled for June 20, underlining continued unrest over expired contracts and working conditions.
