Service on the R3 Rodalies line is currently interrupted between la Garriga and les Franqueses del Vallès following a copper theft that impacted the signaling system.

The incident, which began early Monday morning, has prompted Renfe to extend its alternative road transport service to cover the entire R3 line, ensuring passenger mobility.
Concurrently, the R14 line is also experiencing significant disruptions. Service is suspended between Reus and Vinaixa due to a fire near the tracks and an infrastructure issue at Montblanc station, also attributed to copper theft.
For the R14 line, Renfe has also arranged road transport to cover the affected section. Firefighters were alerted to the blaze shortly before 5:30 AM and responded with four units.
The fire, affecting a transformer station, is stable, and two fire units remain on site to manage the situation.
