An incident in the signaling and diversion systems in L'Espluga de Francolí, in the Conca de Barberà, is causing this Saturday average delays of about 20 minutes on the Madrid Barcelona High-Speed line.
The impact is noticeable in the regulation of railway traffic in the section between Les Borges Blanques and the Tarragona area, a key corridor for the circulation of long-distance trains that connect the Catalan capital with the peninsular center.
Open incident on a key section of high-speed rail
Adif has reported that the breakdown affects the systems that allow managing circulation in that sector of the infrastructure. The incident is located in the vicinity of L'Espluga de Francolí, within a particularly sensitive area for ordering the passages and diversions of convoys on the high-speed network.
For now, no hourly forecast has been detailed to resolve the breakdown. Circulation continues with delays while the technical incident is maintained.
Technicians working to recover normality
The railway administrator points out that technical personnel are already working on the ground to solve the problem and restore normality on the line as soon as possible. The priority, they indicate, is focused on re-establishing normal circulation and reducing the impact on scheduled services.
While the problems persist, travelers are advised to check the status of their train through the official channels of Renfe, Iryo or Ouigo, especially before traveling to the station. The evolution of the incident will continue to condition the passage of convoys between the interior of Lleida and the Tarragona area until it is resolved.
