The Mayor of Calella, Marc Buch, has expressed his outrage over the failing Rodalies train service in early 2026, describing the state's railway management as a historical structural failure.

The Calella official was blunt when assessing recent breakdowns and delays caused by rain. According to Marc Buch, the chaos experienced by thousands of commuters is not an isolated event but a predictable outcome of years of neglected maintenance.

"If everything has suddenly stopped working and we have seen all these incidents, have we been risking our lives until now?"

Buch highlighted that the Maresme line was the first in Spain, yet he claims the central government in Madrid has stopped investing in it. He is now calling for immediate action to guarantee service reliability and improve the condition of local stations.
