Cancellations and delays on the two Cercanías lines in the province have led the PP of Málaga to demand immediate action from Pedro Sánchez's government. The party's provincial president, Patricia Navarro, has demanded that the Executive resolve the incidents that, according to her, thousands of users who depend on the train for their journeys suffer daily. The data provided by the party place the problem in the last week: almost 150 trains were cancelled and last Friday more than thirty incidents were recorded. This Monday, the C-1 line, which connects Málaga with Fuengirola, added more than a dozen cancellations and delays. Navarro stresses the weight of this service in the daily life of the province, since, she states, «it is the only thing that connects us by rail across the whole province». The popular leader has summed up her request in one phrase: «We need action and we need it now».

A metropolitan-wide service

The Cercanías network is the brand of the public railway company Renfe dedicated to linking urban centres with their metropolitan area through high-capacity and high-frequency lines. In Spain it operates in fifteen centres, including that of Málaga, according to the available data. The C-1 between Málaga and Fuengirola is part of that centre and covers the corridor of the western coast of the province, one of those with the highest passenger traffic for work and for tourism. The PP of Málaga's demand comes in the middle of the pre-campaign for the elections of 29 November, in which the party has placed mobility among its management priorities, alongside water, security and tourism, as Navarro already set out during her visit to Algarrobo.
