Rodalies delays continue on Sunday despite Renfe's forecast of a return to normal

Delays on Rodalies de Catalunya continued on the morning of Sunday, November 15, even though Renfe had expected to gradually restore normal service over the weekend, "especially from this Sunday", after its agreement with train drivers, according to ElNacional.cat.

At 9:00, 39 of the 66 trains running in Catalonia were delayed, with some R1 trains 60 minutes late, R4 trains 56 and R2 Sud trains 49, according to that outlet. Cable theft between El Clot and Badalona was causing delays on the R1, and an operational incident forced a replacement road service between Maçanet-Massanes and Blanes and between Blanes and Mataró, according to the official R1 account on X cited by ElNacional.cat.

Renfe said on Saturday in a statement that the agreement with the works council, which restores the drivers' shift rosters, would improve operations and reduce the incidents of the past week, according to ElNacional.cat and Moncloa.com. Rail workers still have a strike called for Tuesday, November 17, according to Moncloa.com.

Story under review: the delay figures come from a single outlet and refer to the morning; it remains to be confirmed with Renfe or Adif how service developed during the rest of Sunday.
