R3 Rodalies commuter trains were suspended between La Garriga and Vic at midday on Saturday, 1 August, after a fault in the signalling systems at Figaró, in Barcelona province.
Passengers travelling through the affected section must use the replacement road service arranged by Renfe, Spain's state rail operator, and Adif, the rail infrastructure manager. The disruption affects journeys between the two stations on the R3 line.
