The program contract with Renfe returns, 15 years later

1 min
THE PARALYSIS THAT DOES NOT STOP THE TRAINS BUT DOES STOP THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE NETWORK The phrase most repeated by the political and technical officials of the Generalitat and the State regarding Renfe is that the open discrepancy does not stop the trains, which depart with more or fewer incidents, as is usual in Catalonia. But, without a new program contract and with the current transfer model, the improvement of the network remains stopped.

Salvador Illa's government has decided to reinstate the program contract with Renfe for two more years, 15 years after it had expired. This is the contract that outlines the conditions, the services, and the direct relationship between the operator and the owner, that is, the Generalitat.
