Overview
- Rodalies expects 206 temporary speed restrictions next week, down from about 225 three weeks ago, with service running at roughly 85% according to Renfe.
- Key suspensions continue: passenger service on R15 between Riba-roja d'Ebre and Reus remains halted, the Rubí tunnel closure disrupts the R8, parts of the R3 stay shut until at least April, and the R4 and R1 operate limited shuttle services.
- Freight traffic faces severe slowdowns, including a reported 30 km/h cap over a 72‑km stretch and constraints tied to works in the Rubí and Garraf tunnels that affect port access.
- Adif has deployed hundreds of technicians, carried out around 700 inspections, and increased emergency contracts to roughly €110 million, with a stated goal of removing 8–10 restrictions per week though many fixes are now seen extending beyond April.
- Rodalies travel remains free through March 31 as activists highlight scant planned upgrades on southern Regionals where most stations needing platform and accessibility works are concentrated, and Adif pursues legal action over a public map of restrictions.
