The Dignitat a les Vies platform stated this March 16th that Rodalies train delays during the Garraf tunnel works are the result of failing to adapt driver schedules.

According to the group, the current railway reprogramming did not include updated shifts for train drivers in time for the start of the construction. This administrative failure, combined with the single-track operation currently in place, has led to significant disruptions in the daily commute for thousands of people.

"The problem is the drivers' shift schedules, which were not presented on time, and since it is a single track, the previous grids do not fit the current circulation."

Passengers at Sant Vicenç station reported waiting times exceeding 40 minutes on the R4 line. Commuters heading to el Vendrell expressed frustration over the lack of official information and the poor management of the alternative transport plan during this first day of works.
