The railway network in Catalonia will face 193 sections with temporary speed limits (LTV) starting this Monday, an increase of ten segments compared to last week.

According to Adif, these restrictions cover 190 kilometers of tracks. Barcelona remains the most affected area with 99 restricted points. Improvements were noted in the Selva region, specifically between Maçanet-Massanes and Blanes, where long-standing restrictions have been reduced to specific spots to improve travel times.

"Of the nearly 200 limitations this week, 70 refer to sections where emergency actions are being taken."

While some areas like the R4 line near Terrassa have seen new restrictions added, others such as the Portbou to Llançà segment have returned to normal operations following successful repairs.
