Metrovalencia Trains Resume With Delays as Barcelona’s R4 Remains Curtailed After Morning Faults

Single-track running with diversions constrained capacity during the rush-hour return from the Reyes holiday.

Overview

  • A catenary failure at Àngel Guimerà disrupted Metrovalencia lines L3, L5, L7 and L9 at the start of service, forcing single-track operation and numerous cancellations.
  • Metrovalencia said circulation on those lines was restored by 11:45, with residual delays persisting.
  • A signaling fault at Montcada Bifurcació from 06:45 interrupted R4 service between that station and Fabra i Puig, reducing frequency to two trains per hour with diversions via the Passeig de Gràcia tunnel and guidance to use the metro as Adif technicians worked on repairs.
  • Renfe reported infrastructure problems at Valencia Nord that delayed Cercanías lines C2 and C6 by roughly 15–20 minutes, including specific early-morning departures.
  • Barcelona road travel slowed after a vehicle fire closed a B-10 lane and cut the C-58 link at Sant Andreu, while a separate AP-7 crash near Sant Cugat caused about five kilometers of queues.
