Overview
- Single-track operations started through the Garraf tunnels, with Regionals from Tarragona terminating at Sant Vicenç de Calders and replacement coaches running to El Prat de Llobregat.
- R2 Sud was reworked to six trains per hour between Barcelona and Castelldefels, four between Barcelona and Garraf, and two between Barcelona and Sant Vicenç, with additional reinforcement around El Prat.
- Authorities deployed 14,400 extra daily bus seats and on-site information staff, and Renfe reported “relative normality,” though peak-hour delays and uneven bus loads were recorded.
- Commuters and user groups described resignation and patchy guidance, noting crowded interurban lines in Sitges and Vilanova and occasional near-empty shuttle coaches arriving at El Prat.
- Local leaders and business groups pressed for more road capacity and temporary C-32 toll relief, while a roster dispute with some Semaf drivers hindered full implementation of the new R2 Sud timings on day one.
