Weeklong Cut Halts R2 Sud Between Gavà and Sitges as Renfe Deploys 55 Buses

The Castelldefels upgrade separates commuter from long‑distance trains to improve access.

Overview

  • Train service is suspended from 22 to 28 September between Gavà and Sitges for Adif works that reconfigure tracks at Castelldefels and add a new underpass.
  • Renfe’s replacement plan fields 55 buses with 41,000 daily seats, combining direct GavàSitges shuttles with services stopping at Castelldefels, Platja de Castelldefels and Garraf.
  • Regional lines R14, R15, R16 and R17 terminate at Cunit, with a direct bus link to Barcelona’s Zona Universitària and arrivals at Palau Reial for quick transfers to Metro L3.
  • Day one brought organized operations but long queues and delays, with authorities reporting relative fluidity and users expressing frustration over added travel time.
  • Test trains are scheduled for Sunday 28 September with normal service targeted for Monday 29, and Adif signals a separate Garraf‑tunnel closure of at least three months late 2025 or early 2026.
