Due to an incident in the telecommunications system, suburban train services throughout Barcelona were suspended from early morning, causing widespread chaos in travel early Friday morning. Rodalies de Catalunya also announced on its website a suspension of service, which means paralysis of rail transport throughout the region.

The only rail service that operated normally was the high speed line.

The Adif Infrastructure Manager reported the outage via Twitter, while assuring that the company’s technicians have been working from the first hour to fix it as soon as possible. On the other hand, Rodalies Catalunya advised users to use alternative modes of transport.

A few hours later, around 8 am, same source reported the restoration of circulation with a gradual normalization of service as delays continue.
