Outraged users at a train station with delays displayed on the information screen.

Users of the Rodalies commuter rail service at the Figueres station showed deep outrage on February 3, 2026, due to widespread delays caused by a technical system failure.

The collapse of the Rodalies system, which occurred on February 3, 2026, has generated a wave of protests among commuters who rely on this service for their daily travel from Figueres and the rest of the Alt Empordà region.

The situation regarding delays has become completely unsustainable, affecting the professional and personal lives of hundreds of people.

This incident adds to the long list of problems plaguing the Rodalies network in Catalonia, where technical breakdowns and lack of investment remain a constant source of complaint from users and affected municipalities.
Those affected, many of whom are workers or students, have used social media to denounce the lack of information and the poor responsiveness of railway operators in the face of such emergencies.
