Several trains scheduled to cover minimum frequencies did not leave the stations, forcing travelers to seek alternative transport such as buses or private vehicles. The RL3 and RL4 lines offer minimum services until Wednesday, with six of the eleven usual frequencies in each direction, but non-compliance was notable from early Monday morning.
“"Every day is an odyssey because you don't know if you will find the train or not."
At the Tàrrega station, for example, only one train passed towards Lleida out of the three scheduled between seven and eight in the morning. The 8:42 a.m. convoy heading to Cervera also did not depart on time. Many users, such as Guillem Lleonart and Nunn Gabarro, missed classes or exams due to the cancellation, pointing out that the uncertainty is common and has been occurring since before the R4 accident in Gelida at the end of January.
“"They must make demands to require more safety. For example, the Tàrrega-Cervera route was renewed relatively recently, but when you go there it looks like Port Aventura."
Beyond the strike, the section of the RL4 line continues to be covered by coach between Cervera and Manresa. On the other hand, the rail service for the R13 and R14 lines, connecting Lleida and Camp de Tarragona with Barcelona, was restored last Saturday, after several days with sections covered by road.
