Overview
- After a morning failure stopped a train between San Ignacio and Sarriko, service was suspended on the Indautxu–San Ignacio and Cruces–San Ignacio stretches to allow crews to work on the incident area.
- Service was restored around 10:00 a.m., though accumulated delays continued to affect operations following the reopening.
- In the afternoon, Metro Bilbao reported fresh network-wide delays and halted service between Leioa and Indautxu and between Cruces and San Ignacio as the morning issue reappeared.
- El Correo reports the latest disruption appears to involve the catenary, according to Metro Bilbao sources, with trains halted, some stations cleared, and partial turnbacks implemented.
- Announcements attributed the cuts to technical reasons and staff directed passengers to alternatives, leading many to crowd buses and taxis during peak travel periods.
