The railway infrastructure manager, ADIF, has informed operators serving the high-speed corridor between Madrid and Barcelona of the need to cancel the last scheduled trips of the day. This decision, effective from February 2, 2026, is taken for infrastructure repair and conservation reasons, according to sources from the Spanish Ministry of Transport.

According to the entity, the main objective is to ensure an adequate period for carrying out routine maintenance tasks. ADIF aims for technical teams to perform the usual conservation of the infrastructure without the circulation of commercial services interfering.

The measure applies exclusively to the high-speed section connecting the two major cities. The Spanish company states that this will allow for the optimization of track inspection and maintenance once the commercial day has concluded, thereby improving long-term service reliability.
