FGC trains return to normal on the Llobregat-Anoia line after almost a week of incidents

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) restored regular service on the Llobregat-Anoia line this Monday, 26 October. Trains are once again running according to their scheduled timetables after repair work was completed in the Gornal tunnel, in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, where a collapse occurred on 20 October.

Users of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya can once again use the Llobregat-Anoia line without the restrictions that have affected train services in recent days.

The company has confirmed that service has been fully restored from early Monday morning, following the completion of necessary work in the Gornal tunnel.

The incident had caused disruptions to the line’s operation for almost a week.

S3, S8, R5 and R6 lines return to their usual schedules

With the restoration of service, trains on the S3, S8, R5 and R6 lines are running as normal.

According to a statement from FGC on its official X account, all trains on the Llobregat-Anoia line are operating according to the scheduled timetable.

The company has also confirmed that the rest of its lines are running normally, so there are no remaining restrictions related to this incident.

Travellers can check the usual timetables to organise their journeys.

What happened in the Gornal tunnel

The disruptions originated from a landslide recorded on 20 October in the Gornal tunnel, located in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

The incident required repair work and led to restrictions on rail traffic while work was carried out on the infrastructure.

After completing the work, FGC has restored normal operation of the line from the start of service this Monday.

End of restrictions after almost a week

The reopening brings to an end several days of changes to train services connecting Barcelona with various municipalities in Baix Llobregat, Anoia and Bages.

With the Gornal tunnel back in operation, all affected services have returned to their usual frequencies and timetables.

FGC has announced the restoration through its official channels and confirms that, from 26 October, its entire rail network is operating normally.
