Overview

• Technicians cleared derailed auxiliary maintenance vehicles from the rails on Line A early July 26, temporarily closing four stations before trains resumed around 7 a.m.
• Service was split into two provisional segments—Pantitlán to Canal de San Juan and La Paz to Santa Marta—while no trains ran between Canal de San Juan and Santa Marta.
• STC Metro coordinated with RTP to deploy shuttle buses on the closed segment, though users complained of limited notice and insufficient capacity.
• Madrid’s Metro de Madrid has kept Line 6 closed since late May for a full-track renovation designed to support future automation and reduce faults, with reopening expected in September.
• Both cities are adjusting schedules and alternative transport options to manage peak ridership and prepare for events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
