Trenord railway service disruptions in Lombardy

Overview

A national railway strike involving both public and private sectors is scheduled for October 2, 2026, which is expected to disrupt Trenord services in the Lombardy region, specifically around Como.

The strike, proclaimed by the Csle and FI-SI unions, is set to occur between 11:00 and 14:00. Anticipated repercussions include a reduction in the number of trains in circulation on lines such as Como Lago–Milano Cadorna and the S11 line. To mitigate the impact, Trenord has announced that certain trains departing by 10:00 may reach their destinations by 11:00, and shuttle buses will be provided for specific airport services between Milano Cadorna or Stabio and Malpensa Airport.

This mobilization is part of a broader series of labor actions across Italy in late September and October 2026. The October 2 strike is driven by demands for wage increases to combat inflation and the rising costs of fuel and food, as well as calls for energy independence. Beyond the railway sector, the protest is expected to impact agriculture, maritime services, local authorities, law enforcement, schools, healthcare, and metalworking.

Other scheduled disruptions include a national strike by port workers on September 28, a local transport strike by AIR Campania employees in the Naples region, and disruptions to air traffic control by Enav employees in cities including Bari, Bologna, Naples, and Linate. Further actions include a national 24-hour air transport strike involving easyJet and a national school strike for teaching and administrative staff on October 16. A second general strike, organized by Usi Cit, is planned for October 30 to protest against war and military spending, though it will exclude the transport sector.
