Ferrocarrils recovers all the stations of the Terrassa line but maintains the cut due to the collapse

Generalitat Railways (FGC) has reestablished this Saturday the train service of line S1 between stations Les Fonts and Plaza de Catalunya, and between the four stations of Terrassa, while the section between Terrassa Rambla and Les Fonts continues to be cut after the fall of a wall 20 linear meters by six meters high on the tracks.

According to a company statement, the stretch between Terrassa Rambla and Les Fonts maintains the alternative road service until the ground displacement zone is operational. In mid-afternoon on Friday, a landslide covered both directions of the FGC tracks in Terrassa, between the Les Fonts and Terrassa Rambla stations, and broke the catenary, forcing the train service between Sant Cugat del Vallès and Terrassa to be cut off.
