Trains are currently halted across various stations along the high-speed line, with scheduled departures from Madrid expected to be cancelled this afternoon. The disruption occurred on Monday after an AVE train from Madrid's Puerta de Atocha station to Figueres caught fire around 2:27 PM, according to Renfe. The incident, which did not result in any injuries, took place near Ricla in Zaragoza when a fire was spotted in the tail carriage of the train.
Following safety protocols, the 283 passengers on board were evacuated. This has led to the suspension of rail traffic between Madrid and Barcelona, causing delays at multiple stations and the cancellation of planned departures this evening. Renfe has implemented measures to assist affected travelers, including free ticket changes and refunds.
