The Rodalies train service resumed in Manresa on the morning of Friday, January 23, albeit with significant delays and very limited frequency.

The first train bound for Barcelona departed at 6 AM, but after an hour and a half, only three trains had left for the Ciutat Comtal and one towards Lleida. This limitation is due to the fact that only two of the seven trains that usually stay overnight at the Manresa station were available, as the rest had been stranded at other stations during the shutdown.
Outside the Renfe station in Manresa, buses were once again deployed as a contingency measure, ready to transport passengers if trains failed to arrive. In fact, one bus had already departed towards Terrassa by 7:30 AM.

The long-suffering Renfe passengers complain once again about poor information, delays, and neglect in the service.

Passengers waiting on the platforms, noticeably fewer than on a normal day, voiced the usual complaints. Most users had already lost faith in Renfe and had opted for alternative transportation.
