The rail traffic on the high-speed line connecting Madrid with Zaragoza and Barcelona has been completely interrupted this Sunday after a run-over registered in Alcalá de Henares.
The incident has forced the closure of traffic in both directions, paralyzing one of the most important corridors in the country.
Departures suspended from Atocha and Zaragoza
The company Renfe has confirmed that all planned departures from:
- Madrid Puerta de Atocha
- Zaragoza Delicias
This has left numerous trains blocked and has generated chain delays.
No forecast of resumption
For the moment there is no official estimate on when service will be restored. Railway authorities are working in the affected area, where the run-over occurred at an unauthorized crossing point.
Recommendation to travelers
Passengers are asked to:
- Check the status of your train before traveling
- Follow official updates
- Avoid going to stations without confirmation
- The situation may change over the next few hours.
A completely paralyzed key axis
The Madrid-Barcelona line is one of the busiest in Spain, for both business and tourist travelers. Any incident on this corridor has an immediate impact on thousands of people.
