Service Resumes Following Infrastructure Incident
Trains on the R4 line of Rodalies de Catalunya are gradually returning to normal service after an infrastructure incident prevented them from reaching central Barcelona this morning. The disruption began at 7:35 on Wednesday 4th November 2026, when trains were forced to start and terminate their journeys at L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. The issue originated in Castellbisbal, affecting rail operations on the route between Molins de Rei and Castellbisbal, where trains were running on a single track. According to Rodalies, the problem was resolved by 9:15, and passengers began arriving in Barcelona shortly afterwards.
Delays Reported During Disruption
During the incident, delays were reported due to reduced frequency on the line. Passengers experienced disruptions to their morning commutes as services were adjusted. Rodalies issued updates via its official X account, which were later confirmed by 20minutos.es and other local outlets.
Although no alternative rail routing was implemented for this specific event, Rodalies has previously established protocols for similar disruptions, including the use of replacement bus services during infrastructure work, as documented on its official website. On this occasion, however, train services resumed without the need for road transport alternatives. Passengers are advised to consult the official Rodalies website or the Radar Rodalies platform for real-time updates on service status.
