An incident in the suburbs causes delays on five lines

The train service in Catalonia has been affected since early Tuesday morning by a new incident that affects lines R1, R3, R4, R7 and R8. A problem in the electricity supply to the Adif facilities has caused traffic to be interrupted between Sants and Castellbisbal for more than an hour, causing delays.

Specifically, the strike due to the breakdown in the railway infrastructure in Cornellà occurred between 5:52 and 7:00 a.m.

Rodalies reported that adequate service could not be guaranteed on those five lines due to this setback and recommended the use of alternative services. Before half past seven in the morning, he communicated via Twitter that the technicians had solved the incident. Once the electricity supply between Sants and Castellbisbal is restored, "the service is gradually and progressively recovered".

The affectations can suppose delays of more than 45 minutes in the trains. In social networks, many users have shown their anger for this reason. Adif and Renfe are informed of the situation of the infrastructure and the affected lines through their communication and customer service channels.
