Several railway user platforms, including Dignitat a les Vies, are preparing a unified demonstration in Barcelona to protest the continuous degradation and severe incidents affecting the Rodalies commuter rail service.

The organizing entities have announced the preparation of a major mobilization in the Catalan capital, although the exact date of the protest will be announced in the coming hours. The goal is to achieve a massive and transversal response, inviting civil and economic organizations to join.

"The situation of Rodalies is regrettable; it is a burden on the social and economic development of the country."

Adrià Allo · Spokesperson for Dignitat a les Vies
Adrià Allo, spokesperson for Dignitat a les Vies, emphasized that the railway service has been "progressively degrading in recent years" and that "the whole country is aware of it." This constant degradation affects both daily mobility and the economic competitiveness of Catalonia.
The spokesperson also referred to the new incidents recorded during Monday morning, acknowledging that users "went to sleep without being fully confident" about the service's reliability.
