Rodalies alters the R2 line for a month: trains will stop running between Gavà and Castelldefels
Rodalies passengers travelling between Barcelona and Castelldefels should be aware of an important change starting Thursday, 12 November. Adif works will require some R2 trains to alter their route until 14 December. However, Castelldefels will remain connected by rail thanks to R2 Sud services.
Railway works in the area around Castelldefels will cause temporary changes to Rodalies services for just over a month. The modification will specifically affect trains on the R2 line connecting Granollers Centre and Castelldefels.
According to Renfe, these services will shorten their route and terminate at Gavà, one station before their usual destination.
Which R2 trains will no longer reach Castelldefels
From 12 November to 14 December 2026, trains that normally run between Granollers Centre and Castelldefels will start and end their journey at Gavà.
This means these services will not run on the section between Gavà and Castelldefels during the works.
The modification affects this specific Granollers Centre–Castelldefels route on the R2, so it does not mean a complete suspension of train services in Castelldefels.
How to get to Castelldefels during the works
Passengers needing to travel to Castelldefels can use R2 Sud trains heading to Vilanova i la Geltrú or Sant Vicenç de Calders.
These services will continue to run on the affected section, allowing travel to Castelldefels.
Therefore, those travelling on a Granollers Centre–Castelldefels service should check available connections to complete their journey.
When the usual route will resume
The changes are scheduled from Thursday 12 November to Monday 14 December, both in 2026.
The changes are due to works being carried out by Adif on the railway infrastructure near Castelldefels.
During this period, Renfe recommends checking timetables before travelling, especially for those who regularly use this connection to get to work or educational centres.
