A fire on an AVE in Zaragoza has forced Iryo to cancel four trains between Madrid and Barcelona scheduled for Wednesday, 14 October. The company will reassign affected passengers to other services.
The cancelled trains are 6081, 6320, 6161, and 6190. Their passengers will be transferred to services identified by the numbers 6091, 6281, 6130, 6014, 6151, 6171, and 6200.
Iryo is informing passengers through its usual channels. Those who do not accept the alternative can change their ticket or cancel their journey for a full refund.
The incident began on Tuesday in the rear cab of an AVE de Renfe travelling from Madrid-Puerta de Atocha to Figueres. The fire broke out near Ricla, in Zaragoza, and train traffic began to recover gradually during the night, once the fire was extinguished.
The recovery of the line does not yet mean normal service. Between Ricla and Plasencia de Jalón, trains are running on a single track. In certain sections, temporary speed limits of 80 kilometres per hour and sight-based running are still in place. Work continues to remove the affected equipment and repair the infrastructure.
