Changes in 3 Rodalies lines starting this weekend with alternative bus transport. Adif has announced inspection and maintenance work on track protective walls on Rodalies de Catalunya lines R3, R4 and R11, which will affect service during several dates in August.
On line R3, from Saturday, August 10, the section between Ribes de Freser and Puigcerdà will be closed from 10:00 to 19:00 hours.
Trains departing from L’Hospitalet de Llobregat to Puigcerdà/La Tor de Querol and vice versa will end and start their journey in Ribes de Freser, with an alternative road service on the affected section.
On Sunday, August 11, the closed section will be between Torelló and Ribes de Freser, also from 10:00 to 19:00 hours. Trains towards L’Hospitalet de Llobregat will terminate at Ribes de Freser, and those towards Puigcerdà/La Tor de Querol will terminate at Torelló, with an alternative road service between Ribes de Freser and Torelló.
The first train from La Tor de Querol (8:30) and L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (12:02) will maintain its usual route. The last affected train on Sunday, between Ripoll (19:12) and L’Hospitalet, will depart from Sant Quirze de Besora, with road service between Ripoll and Torelló.
On the R4 line, delays are expected to take place during the weekend of August 17 and 18. Between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, trains will run on a single track between Manresa and Terrassa, which could increase travel time.
On Wednesday, August 21 and 28 the R11 line will be affected, between Girona and Figueres, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (August 21), between Figueres and Portbou, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm (August 28). These works could result in increased travel times when approaching the aforementioned sections.
