**Update, 14 October 2026:** An AVE train caught fire in its tail cabin near Ricla on 12 October at 16:05, leading to the evacuation of 283 passengers with no injuries reported, according to [El Periódico](https://www.elperiodico.com/es/barcelona/20261014/trafico-barcelona-hoy-rodalies-carreteras-ave-directo-133938712?ref=barna.news). The incident disrupted 33 trains and affected 12,979 passengers, with Renfe operating services in double composition to maximise capacity as recovery continues.

## Service Disruptions Following Train Fire

Ouigo announced on Tuesday 13 October 2026 that it will cancel two high-speed trains on the Barcelona–Madrid route for Wednesday, 14 October, following a fire involving a train in Ricla, Zaragoza. The French operator confirmed that Ouigo train 6500, scheduled to depart Barcelona Sants at 10:40, and Ouigo train 6570, due to leave at 17:40, will not run. Passengers affected by the cancellations will be rebooked onto alternative services. Those originally on train 6500 will be reallocated to a service departing at 13:50, while passengers on train 6570 will be moved to a train leaving Barcelona at 20:20.

> All affected travellers have been notified of the changes, and those wishing to can cancel their tickets and receive a full refund.

This follows a broader disruption across the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed corridor. Iryo has also suspended four trains at the request of Adif, Spain's rail infrastructure manager, due to ongoing operational constraints caused by the incident.
