From 00:00 to 14:00 this Thursday, according to data sent to Lusa, CP suppressed 514 trains out of 692 planned on the last day of several strikes that affected the work of the carrier.
During this period, the KP carried out 178 trains, performing minimal services, which corresponds to a suppression rate of 74.3%.
