Rail service at Tarragona station resumed this Friday morning with average delays of 15 to 30 minutes, primarily affecting the R-15 line.

Early this Friday, railway circulation at the Tarragona station returned to operation, albeit with significant delays. The average delays ranged between fifteen and thirty minutes, according to the operator, with passenger flow notably lower than on a typical day at seven in the morning.
The most severe disruption was recorded on the R-15 line. Specifically, the train covering the route from Riba-roja d'Ebre to Barcelona, scheduled for 7:56 AM, accumulated a considerable delay of one hour, marking the most significant delay of the day.

Among the users, resignation and understanding for the struggle of the train drivers prevailed.

To mitigate the problems resulting from the recent storm, Renfe had to provide two buses to cover the section between Riba-roja and Reus, where the railway infrastructure still showed damage.
