Rodalies passengers have shown their indignation after taking 6 hours from Barcelona to Puigcerdà. They left this Friday at 4:30 p.m. from Plaza Catalunya and did not arrive at their destination until 10:30 p.m. An odyssey that began with a transfer by bus and ended with a riot of some 200 people in Ribes de Freser. This affectation extended the inconvenience and the travel time of the passengers of the R3 line, but the main stumbling block for users came in Ribes de Freser, five stops from Puigcerdà.@Rodalies after the odyssey of the train that comes from Barcelona to Puigcerdà from 4:30 p.m. and goes to Manlleu, bus to Ripoll, from there train, arrives at Ribes de Freser and the driver I said that the second working day has ended, and that we left pulling there, we taught the mutiny! pic.twitter.com/TDVfOXDb2c— KIM VIDAL BERNADES 🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️ (@KIIMET) November 4, 2022 According to one of the travellers, as recorded in a video broadcast on social networks, he denounces that the driver had told them that he would finish his journey in the town of Ripollés at the end of his working day. Thus, he intended to leave them halfway. As a consequence, all the passengers rioted inside the convoy and finally the driver finished the corresponding route. As Renfe sources have confirmed to NIUS, this driver made the query to the management center to continue to Puigcerdà and at “all times” they guaranteed the mobility of the users.

Thus, the usual service of Renfe’s R3 line will be restored in the morning once the fault affecting the electrification system in the affected section is repaired.
