First coordination meeting
Recently, the first daily meeting has been held between representatives of the Generalitat, Adif, Renfe and the Ministry of Transport to address the state of the railway infrastructure. These meetings have been designed to identify and solve incidents that affect the service immediately.
Immediate measures for problem solving
During the meeting, it was agreed to increase the number of teams in charge of reviewing the tracks at night. The Minister of Territory, Sílvia Paneque, said that this initiative is essential to guarantee a reliable service every day.
Resolved incidents
One of the first incidents was the interruption of the service between Sant Vicenç and Cunit, due to a lack of tension in the catenary. This situation has already been resolved, allowing the standardization of railway traffic.
Communication problems
Another topic that emerged during the meeting was the malfunction of the communication system between the machinist and the control center, known as the ground train. Paneque said that antennas were replaced to ensure effective communication.
Continuous follow -up
Follow -up meetings will be held daily, including weekends, to monitor the improvements implemented and the effectiveness of the solutions. Paneque emphasized the importance of quickly detecting and solving incidents.
Commitments for the future
In the face of complaints about the incidents during the Carnival, the counselor acknowledged that Renfe did not comply with the deadline for delivery of schedules to machinists. This will be corrected with the anticipation of new calendars to ensure a better adaptation of the service.
Appearance in Parliament
Paneque has stated his intention to submit to Parliament to explain the incidents after the reactivation of the service in Roda de Berà. He has expressed his hope that he could do it next week, in order to provide an update on the solutions applied.
Final reflections
With these meetings and the measures taken, the aim is to restore the trust of users in the railway service. The counselor emphasized that efficiency and speed in response to incidents were key to improving service.
