The circulation of Rodalies lines R11 and RG1 has been interrupted between Llançà and Portbou since 08:00 due to a technical incident in the infrastructure. The disruption is concentrated in Alt Empordà and has forced a modification of railway mobility in one of the entry and exit sections towards the border.
At 10:00 AM, rail traffic has been able to resume partially and the circulation of the R11 and RG1 has switched to single track between Llançà and Portbou. Despite this limited recovery, Renfe maintains an alternative road service between Figueres and Portbou to absorb part of the demand and provide an exit for affected travelers.
Delays between Portbou and Girona
The incident continues to have an impact on the service. Renfe and Adif warn of delays on the section between Portbou and Girona, where operations continue to be conditioned by the capacity limitation derived from the passage through a single track in the affected sector.
The incident occurred early in the morning, during the usual mobility period, and has altered traffic on one of the lines connecting the north of the Girona regions with the rest of the network.
Service recovery on the R4
In parallel, this Tuesday the R4 train service between Sant Sadurní d"Anoia and Martorell has resumed, a section that remained cut off since the fatal railway accident in Gelida on January 20. With this reopening, the railway connection between Sant Vicenç de Calders and Terrassa Estació del Nord has been reestablished.
On the R4, the service is provided by train between Sant Vicenç de Calders and Terrassa Estació del Nord. Between Terrassa Estació del Nord and Manresa, a shuttle train continues to operate along with a complementary road service.
The R1 returns to complete the route
Also this Tuesday, the complete R1 train route between Maçanet Massanes and L"Hospitalet de Llobregat has been reestablished. With this resumption, it is no longer necessary to make a transfer in Blanes, a measure that until now was part of the provisional service arrangement.
The day thus leaves a double image in the Rodalies network, with improvements in corridors that were dragging long-duration affectations and, at the same time, with new incidents in the north of Girona that maintain alterations and force combining train and road in part of the route.
