Rodalies Service of Catalonia
In the second part of the hearing, the Minister referred to the railway accident in Gelida and the situation of the Rodalies service. He apologized for the situation the citizens of Catalonia are experiencing these days and recalled the 'historic' problems suffered by the network in the suburbs of Catalonia, both because of its route, which is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and because of the investment deficit of previous governments.
Since the accident, Adif has mobilized more than 300 workers to monitor and resolve the incidents caused by the Harry blur. So far, about 70 points have been inspected, of which more than 30 have been concluded to be "high-risk" because they are "taludes and potential landslides" due to the state of the ground.
