The incident has led to the suspension of rail traffic on this section, impacting passengers who rely on this line for their travel.
To mitigate the effects of the disruption, Renfe has established an alternative shuttle bus service. These buses connect the affected stations to ensure passenger mobility.
This incident compounds the ongoing track doubling works between Parets del Vallès and La Garriga, which have already caused significant disruptions to the R3's regular service.
Since October 2025, train services between L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and La Garriga have been exclusively covered by buses. These alternative services link the non-operational stations with key points like Barcelona (Fabra i Puig), and also offer direct connections from Vic, La Garriga, and Centelles.
A second copper theft was reported on the Rodalies network this Sunday. This time, the incident occurred between Sant Vicenç de Calders and Roda de Mar, causing delays exceeding 30 minutes on the R13 line.
