Commuters on the R1 and RG1 Rodalies lines will face service disruptions between Barcelona and Badalona stations due to essential infrastructure works scheduled from January 3 to January 11, 2026.

The nine-day interruption will directly affect the section between the Arc de Triomf (or El Clot-Aragó) station and Badalona. This measure is being implemented to allow for crucial maintenance and improvement work on the railway network.
To guarantee passenger mobility, the operator has arranged an alternative bus service covering the affected route, connecting the stops where the train service will be suspended. Users are advised to check schedules and plan their journeys in advance.

This disruption occurs during a period of low labor activity after the holidays, but requires careful planning by regular commuters.

The works are part of a broader infrastructure modernization project for the Rodalies network in the Barcelona metropolitan area, aiming to enhance the reliability and capacity of the service.
