A technical fault in the overhead power lines of the R3 Rodalies line has forced the suspension of train services between La Garriga and Centelles this Saturday morning.

The incident occurred in a tunnel between La Garriga and Figaró. Firefighters from the Bombers de la Generalitat reported a total lack of electrical tension, making it impossible for trains to operate in the area.
Adif has implemented an alternative bus service for stranded passengers. This latest failure adds to the ongoing disruptions on the R3 line, which is currently undergoing major doubling works scheduled to last until May.

"The Rodalies plan ends in Tarragona."
