A total of 13 trains, each carrying three technical and union representatives in the cab, started surveying the Rodalies lines immediately after the agreement was signed between the two public companies under the Ministry of Transport, the majority union, and the Generalitat, which acted as a mediator.
These exploratory trips were the main agreement to unblock the paralysis suffered by Rodalies since Tuesday night, when a train driver died after a retaining wall from the AP-7 highway collapsed onto the R4 line near Gelida.
“"The reopening of the stations will take place progressively, as approval is given to each line."
The analysis carried out on the R2 Nord line was the first to present favorable reports on Thursday night, allowing passenger circulation, albeit marginally. The remaining lines are expected to advance throughout Friday, although the R4 South line, where the accident occurred, will be the last to be restored through the Penedès area.
The service halt greatly complicated mobility for two consecutive days, with buses overwhelmed and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat (FGC) lines registering excessive user growth, leading to road congestion.
