so, the secret as to why trains always are super late to Latour de Carol is that they always stay in Puigcerdà for like half an hour?

@kitten keep in mind that from Puigcerdà to La Tor de Querol it’s still using telephonic block without train protection, so needs to a person to give way

@darkphoenix all that line is single track as it leaves Barcelona

but still, there's no other trains running there, Latour de Carol is a dead end

@kitten i dunno how much further it goes, i.e., it might have to wait for its opposite direction equivalent train to come in and clear the line first, if it's not short enough for only one train to go down there and back

@kitten and just in general, tbh, schedules on branches like that beyond the last chance to pass can be weird. i've had trains actually scheduled for 20 minute waits, like, as part of how it's meant to run, and it can break down very quickly from a single delay that it can then never catch up and that delays the next train, and the next,,,
