The R4 service, interrupted for several hours due to the breakdown of a freight train

The circulation of the trains of the R4 and R8 lines of Rodalies has been restored this Thursday at 11:40 a.m. after its interruption due to a fault between Martorell and Castellbisbal (Barcelona) since the start of the service, Renfe has reported.

In a tweet collected by Europa Press, Adif has reported the breakdown of a freight train in this section that the technicians have removed around 7:40 am and Renfe has subsequently reported a voltage problem in a statement.

According to a Renfe statement, once the infrastructure fault has been repaired "progressively" the usual frequencies and schedules will be restored.

Before this incident, Civil Protection of the Generalitat had activated the pre-alert phase of the railway emergency plan of Catalonia (Ferrocat), which it has already deactivated.
