Stolen and damaged copper wiring on train tracks.

A cable theft on the tracks between Alcover and Espluga de Francolí has caused 15-minute delays on the high-speed line connecting Barcelona and Madrid.

As reported by Adif on Monday morning, the theft of this railway material occurred in the Alt Camp and Conca de Barberà region. The infrastructure manager is already working to resolve the incident as quickly as possible.
This disruption on the high-speed line comes just hours after services were restored between Girona and Barcelona. The latter route had been interrupted for ten hours due to a lack of electrical power in the Sagrera area.
