The affected lines are C1, C2, C7, C8 and C10
The waits for users at the Atocha and Recoletos stations take forever and the estimated arrival time of the next train is hidden on the screens in both directions. Cercanías Madrid has warned of an alteration in the services of train between both stations.
“Due to the incident of a train at the entrance to Atocha, the service between Atocha and Recoletos in both directions is temporarily interrupted,” said Cercanías Madrid, the railway service operated by Renfe Cercanías, a division of Renfe Operadora, through its Twitter profile (now X).

This imbalance and blockage in the daily journeys causes delays and stops in the trains, as well as “their usual route may be modified.” Specifically, it affects the commuter lines C1, C2, C7, C8 and C10.
