Next to Hotel don Candido, one of the most unique buildings of Terrassa. There, where the train runs in the open, one of the enormous walls of the gallery has been collapsed and fell on the tracks on Friday afternoon, forcing cut off circulation of line S1 of Railways of the Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). There have been no injuries, but the scope of the sinister adventure is a repair that will not be overnight. It happened on the same day that a commuter train has derailed between Planoles and Ribes de Freser following a detachment. In this case, 12 people and the driver of the R3 line convoy had to be evacuated by bus to their destination.
In none of the accidents has there been to regret personal injury. Inconvenience, many. And those to come. Line S1 connects Plaza de Catalunya, in Barcelona, with the station Terrassa-United Nations. The incident has forced the route to be guillotined, so that the trains only go to Sant Cugat, with which there are eight stops that are left without service. The collapsed wall is between the Les Fonts and Terrassa Rambla stops.
