The high-speed rail service connecting Girona and Barcelona suffered major disruptions this Monday, March 2nd, forcing hundreds of commuters to find alternative transport.

The morning was characterized by train cancellations and significant delays on one of the country's busiest lines. Workers and students were forced to use Rodalies (commuter rail) or buses as the high-speed service ground to a halt.

"We reach March with a structural problem with no solution in sight."
