The resumption of the railway service this Monday, January 26, was met with distrust at the Tarragona station, as an early morning failure at the ADIF control center in Estació de França caused delays of up to an hour. User attendance was significantly lower than on a conventional day.
“"I have no alternative, the bus is much more expensive."
Simultaneously, railway user platforms are organizing a unified demonstration in Barcelona to protest the Rodalies (commuter rail) chaos. The tentative date is set for Saturday, February 7, and the organizing entities are seeking the support of civil and economic sectors.
“"The situation of Rodalies is regrettable; it is a burden on the social and economic development of the country."
The spokesperson for Dignitat a les Vies added that the railway service has been "progressively degrading in recent years" and admitted that, after the announcement of the service restart, they "went to sleep without being fully confident" about avoiding new incidents.
