The R3 line of Rodalies de Catalunya has experienced a disruption in train services between La Garriga and Puigcerdà stations because of a cable theft.

Sources from Renfe and Adif have confirmed that the incident has negatively impacted the railway traffic regulation systems. Consequently, alternative measures have been implemented for affected passengers.
Travelers using this line can take a train between L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Fabra i Puig. From the latter station, a bus service is available connecting Barcelona with Vic, a service already in operation due to ongoing works on the R3 line.
Additionally, a complementary bus service has been established specifically to cover the section between La Garriga and Puigcerdà. The company's technical teams are working diligently to restore normal railway operations as soon as possible.
