The Secretary of State for Transport, José Antonio Santano, confirmed that the reopening of several Rodalies lines will begin next week, specifically naming the R13, R14, and RL4. The R13 connects Lleida to Barcelona via Valls, while the R14 links Lleida and Barcelona passing through Tarragona and Reus.
“"Rodalies requires singular attention because it is the most complex network in the State and the one that suffers the most from the impacts of climate change."
In an interview with the 2Cat channel, the senior ministry official indicated that the entire Rodalies network will be "practically" operational within two weeks. Furthermore, he predicted that all temporary speed restrictions, which are being removed "progressively," will be eliminated by April.
Regarding negotiations with the unions to avoid the strike called starting Monday, Santano expressed optimism, stating that there are "advances" towards reaching an agreement.
