so, I booked a train trip from Latour de Carol-Envetig in some weeks
now, how reliable is the R3 from Barcelona? one train leaves me there with 55min to spare, the one before with 3h 55min to spare, which is.... quite a lot
@kitten R3 is not reliable (and Rodalies itself), which on past Saturday I arrived to Puigcerdà with 45-50 min of delay: almost all the stretch it’s in a single track, bear in mind that’s one of the reason that R3 has a lot of delays
And also in a few weeks I think they begin to cut a part of the line for 16 month as part of the works to make double track part of the line to Vic
@kitten In general we've had a quarter of our Rodalies trains being 15 minutes late or cancelled outright... The only times we took R3 it was inside Barcelona so we didn't care about/note down delays.
Guess it depends on how easy it would be to change your follow-up ticket.
