[Rodalies de Catalunya](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/ca/detalls/article/Nou-article-07589?ref=barna.news) lists the service notice on its website. The findings point to unreliable journeys for passengers using Rodalies, Catalonia’s commuter and regional rail service. Across the network, the same analysis found that only 50% of trains kept to their timetable at each station during 2025. For passengers planning alternative transport, [mou-te.gencat.cat](https://mou-te.gencat.cat/?ref=barna.news) provides information on other transport services. Rodalies directed travellers to the site during a network interruption in January. --- ## Weather and infrastructure disrupted trains in 2025 A [Rodalies notice](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/web/.content/06%5FAtencio%5Fal%5Fclient/Justificants/2025/11%5F06.pdf?ref=barna.news) recorded weather-related disruption across several lines on 6th November 2025\. It also documented two infrastructure incidents later that day. The notice gave the following times for the first reported effects on individual lines: - R13 and R14 trains were affected from 06:15. - R15 trains were affected from 07:00. - R2 Sud trains were affected from 07:25. - R2 services were suspended between Castelldefels and Granollers Centre from 08:00. - R4 trains were affected from 08:30, followed by R1 and RG1 trains from 09:45. The R3 was also affected by the weather, the notice said. An infrastructure incident at Barcelona Sants affected trains between 15:15 and 15:55, while another at Sitges affected R2 Sud and southern regional services from 17:40. --- ## Gelida wall collapse halted services in January On 20th January 2026, a retaining wall fell onto the tracks between Gelida and Sant Sadurní and struck an R4 train. One person died and 37 people were injured, according to a [Rodalies update](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/ca/detalls/article/01%5F21%5FInterrump?ref=barna.news) issued during the subsequent interruption. The update said five people had serious injuries, six had less serious injuries and 26 had minor injuries. It added that an investigation had been opened to establish the exact cause of the accident. Rodalies said circulation between the two stations stopped at 21:00 and services on all Rodalies lines were interrupted shortly afterwards. Renfe, the train operator, and Adif, the rail infrastructure manager, mobilised resources to assist affected passengers and alerted the emergency services. On 21st January, Rodalies said the infrastructure was being inspected following the effects of a storm and that it expected services to return progressively after the review. Its notice advised passengers to use alternative transport and avoid journeys. For that January interruption, passengers with a valid Rodalies ticket could request an alternative transport ticket at their departure station. Rodalies also offered eligible monthly pass holders a one-day extension, with applications at its ticket offices from 22nd January. ## What it means for you - **When:** In September 2026, punctuality on the R15 fell far below half of its scheduled journeys. - **Where:** On the R15 regional rail line in Catalonia. --- *Sources:* [*larepublica.cat*](https://www.larepublica.cat/altres-categories/lull-de-deu/molt-greu-el-gran-miratge-de-rodalies-vuit-anys-perduts-i-una-xarxa-en-collapse-total/?ref=barna.news)*,* [*Rodalies de Catalunya*](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/ca/detalls/article/Nou-article-07589?ref=barna.news)*,* [*Rodalies de Catalunya*](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/ca/detalls/article/01%5F21%5FInterrump?ref=barna.news)*,* [*Rodalies de Catalunya*](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/web/.content/06%5FAtencio%5Fal%5Fclient/Justificants/2025/11%5F06.pdf?ref=barna.news)*,* [*L'Ull de Déu*](https://www.larepublica.cat/fixada/molt-greu-el-gran-miratge-de-rodalies-vuit-anys-perduts-i-una-xarxa-en-collapse-total/?ref=barna.news)*.* --- ### Related on Barna.News - [R4 Rodalies Resumes Full Service After Morning Incident](https://barna.news/r4-rodalies-resumes-full-service-after/) - [Rodalies Service Resumes at Passeig de Gràcia After Smoke Incident](https://barna.news/rodalies-service-resumes-at-passeig-de/) - [Updated: Rodalies Disruptions Hit Six Lines](https://barna.news/rodalies-disruptions-hit-six-lines/) - [R3 Train Service Adjustments from 9 Nov](https://barna.news/r3-train-service-adjustments-from-9-nov/)
