The Minister of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, Sílvia Paneque, confirmed the reopening of the R13 and R14 lines of Rodalies de Catalunya, which had been operating by road transport due to ongoing construction works. This reinstatement is considered a crucial step towards stabilizing the transport system.
The restoration of the R13 line, which connects Barcelona with Lleida via Valls, is expected to benefit approximately 1,200 daily passengers. Meanwhile, the R14 line, covering the route between Barcelona, Reus, and Lleida, will improve mobility for about 2,400 users per day, totaling 3,600 beneficiaries.
“"The recovery of the rail service represents a new step forward in stabilizing the Rodalies system."
Train circulation on these two lines had been affected for weeks due to infrastructure works. R13 users had to take the bus between Sant Vicenç de Calders (Baix Penedès) and Vinaixa (Garrigues), while R14 users used the alternative route between Reus and Vinaixa.
