Public Transport Incidents and Delays
Rodalies de Catalunya line R7 has restored service after an earlier disruption caused by a tree on the tracks, but delays continue across several lines. R4 services are experiencing average delays of over 30 minutes, while R2, R2 Nord and R11 face delays exceeding 15 minutes. On R2 and R2 Nord, only two trains per hour per direction are running between Barcelona and Sant Celoni due to infrastructure issues between El Clot and Sant Andreu. Line R3 continues to operate road replacement services on certain sections. Meanwhile, lines R1, R2 Sud and R8 are running their full routes without major disruption. Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) has not yet set a date for the full restoration of services on lines R5, R6, S8 and S3 on the Llobregat-Anoia line, following a partial roof collapse in the Gornal tunnel in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat two days ago. Trains are currently operating on a single track through the affected section.
"We have managed to extricate the last person trapped in one of the vehicles beneath the beam,"
Emergency services confirmed that a multi-vehicle collision involving a lorry carrying a large beam and ten cars on the A-2 left 21 people affected, with five people extricated from vehicles by fire crews. The SEM (Servei d'Emergències Mèdiques) attended to 20 people at the scene, one of whom was seriously injured. Another incident on the A-2 involving several cars and a lorry resulted in four people being freed from a vehicle by firefighters, with 20 people treated by emergency services, at least one in serious condition.
