The Madrid Recoletos train station remains closed this Monday while work is being done to resolve the incident that occurred this Sunday when an Intercity train derailed, which is why Renfe has announced that the Madrid Cercanías service will be provided with delays.
Renfe sources have informed EFE that the cut affects Cercanías lines and medium and long distance trains that use that section, which is why they recommend alternative means of transportation to travelers this Monday.
Trains from Pasillo Verde, Airport and Príncipe Pío will be affected, which begin and end service in Atocha, Nuevos Ministerios and Pitis respectively. In turn, between Atocha and Nuevos Ministerios, travelers will have a train every 15 minutes.
On medium and long distances with origin or destination in Alcázar de San Juan, Jaén, Almería or Extremadura, Renfe has established an alternative transport service.
The circulation between Atocha and Recoletos was interrupted this Sunday due to the departure of several sections of an Intercity train that was making the Almería-Madrid route, which forced the evacuation of 37 people traveling inside. The train started at very low speed at the Atocha station and a few meters later several tracks left the track, after which the 37 passengers were evacuated at the same station, without any of them suffering personal injuries.
