Overview

• Renfe announced on the morning of April 30 that all rail services in Andalusia, including Cercanías, Media Distancia, Avant, AVE, and long-distance routes, are now fully operational.
• The disruption began on Monday due to a massive power distribution failure that impacted rail services across Spain, with Andalusia being particularly affected.
• By April 29 evening, most services in the region had been restored except for a few lines, including Media Distancia Sevilla-Málaga and Sevilla-Córdoba-Jaén, and the Intercity Madrid-Almería route.
• Renfe implemented measures to support passengers during the disruption, including free ticket changes or cancellations and progressive reallocation of travelers.
• The restoration underscores the importance of Andalusia’s Corredor Sur rail corridor, a critical link between major cities in the region and beyond.
