Sarmiento Line Runs With Delays as Temporary Schedule Cuts Frequency

A reduced timetable introduced after a recent derailment keeps trains roughly 14 minutes apart, straining peak-hour travel.

Overview

  • Emergency crews rescued a man alive after a train struck him at the Emilio Lamarca pedestrian crossing in Floresta.
  • The incident halted the section toward Once and limited service between Moreno and Castelar for about an hour before full circulation resumed.
  • Trenes Argentinos has implemented a temporary timetable that removes express services, sends part of the fleet to workshops, and reduces train availability.
  • Under the current scheme, trains run about every 14 minutes with formations reported up to 20 minutes late, producing packed platforms and carriages.
  • Ongoing works and inspections in the Liniers area continue to slow the line, and passengers report longer trips and a cellphone theft during the morning rush.
