The Rodalies and Regional train service in the Lleida area resumed this Friday with delays exceeding half an hour and the cancellation of some routes, following a two-day service interruption.

The resumption was characterized by confusion, particularly concerning the RL3 Lleida-Cervera line scheduled for 8:03 a.m., which was cancelled. Travelers were initially promised an alternative road service, but this was suspended at the last minute, forcing them to wait for the subsequent train.

"These two days I have been taking the bus, but I arrived an hour late for work."

The wait was extensive, as the train scheduled for 8:42 a.m. did not arrive at Lleida station until 9:45 a.m. Users, who traveled with doubts and uncertainty after the two-day stoppage, were hoping to reach their destinations without further issues.
In Tàrrega, the situation was also difficult, as the first train due from Terrassa, scheduled for 7:00 a.m., accumulated a delay of an hour and a half, arriving at 8:30 a.m. Furthermore, trains are circulating with black ribbons on the cabin windows as a sign of mourning for the drivers killed in recent accidents.
