The service expansion primarily focuses on the section between Lleida and Balaguer, where two additional midday services are incorporated, departing at 14:42 h from Lleida and 15:17 h from Balaguer, Monday through Friday. Furthermore, two afternoon services are added on Fridays, at 18:45 h (origin Lleida) and 19:20 h (origin Balaguer).
The schedule adjustment involves delays ranging from 5 to 20 minutes for several services. The main objective of this modification is to improve connectivity between FGC trains and the high-speed train (AVE) originating in Barcelona that arrives at the Lleida station.
For example, the 9:05 h train from Lleida to Balaguer is delayed by 5 minutes (to 9:10 h) every day except Saturday. Similarly, on weekends and holidays, the 7:47 h train from Lleida to La Pobla de Segur is delayed by 10 minutes (to 7:57 h) to connect with the AVE train arriving at 7:46 h in Lleida.
These changes were approved within the framework of the Commission of Follow-up of the Lleida – La Pobla de Segur – Esterri d'Àneu service, a body comprising local councils, the Regional Council, and economic and social agents, responding to user proposals.
