The plenary session of the Tortosa council approved the institutional declaration last Monday, February 3, 2026, aiming to take a firm stand against the chain of "serious" incidents that have affected the Rodalies train service in Catalonia. These incidents include the tragic loss of a human life, several derailments, the total suspension of service on certain lines, and the constant lack of information provided to users.
“"To guarantee the security, reliability and dignity of the Rodalies service and public mobility."
In the same document, the Tortosa plenary emphasizes that both local councils, users, and regional institutions "have been denouncing" the state of the infrastructure for years. The Tortosa City Council expresses "deep" concern over the situation, which it directly attributes to "decades of underinvestment and lack of maintenance" of the railway network.
