Cable Theft Halts Rodalies R3 Between La Garriga and Puigcerdà With Bus Replacements

It is the second straight full suspension in as many days on a corridor already constrained by a long construction program.

Overview

  • Train circulation on the R3 has been fully suspended between La Garriga and Puigcerdà since 06:27 on Friday after a confirmed cable theft.
  • Adif reported the incident on its INFOAdif X account and said teams are working to repair the damage.
  • An alternative transport plan is in place with buses covering the affected section to maintain passenger mobility.
  • The shutdown follows a separate traffic‑regulation systems incident on Thursday that also forced a full suspension on this stretch.
  • A long, phased works program that began on 7 October has already curtailed the line between L’Hospitalet and La Garriga through May 2026, with a narrower cut from Mollet Santa Rosa to La Garriga planned until January 2027.
