New delays on Rodalies due to operational issues and cable theft at Fabra i Puig
Rodalies users are once again facing difficulties travelling by train. Several lines on the Catalan network are experiencing delays due to issues with the availability of drivers and trains, compounded by a cable theft in the Fabra i Puig area of Barcelona.
What is causing the delays?
According to Renfe, an operational incident is affecting the normal operation of various Rodalies services. The company states that difficulties in having enough drivers and trains are causing delays on several lines.
This situation is compounded by cable theft detected at Fabra i Puig, which is especially affecting the R4 and R7 lines.
R4 and R7 lines affected by cable theft
Renfe warns that trains may remain stopped for longer as they approach the affected section. This could lead to longer journey times and accumulated delays.
For now, the information provided does not specify when normal service will resume.
How to check the status of Rodalies
Given the incidents, it is recommended to check the service status before leaving home, especially if your journey requires transfers.
Travellers can check updates for the R1, R2, R2 Nord, R2 Sud, R3, R4, R7 and R8 lines through the official Rodalies de Catalunya channels.
The evolution of the incidents will determine when schedules and frequencies can return to normal.
The Renfe drivers' strike planned for 12 November in Catalonia has been postponed until next Monday, 23 November. The Semaf union made this decision after the Spanish Government approved new measures to strengthen railway safety. However, the protests have not been definitively cancelled.
