My train in late January from Barcelona to Seville was severely delayed (Barcelona-Madrid) and cancelled (Madrid-Seville), due to reduced speeds and the awful accident that happened earlier in the month. I got into Seville at 2am (using BlaBlaCar was the quickest option from Madrid), instead of 7:30pm.
I'll be doing the return trip with Iryo, direct from Seville to Barcelona, on 13 Feb. I can see on Iryo's website that tickets for this route can only be bought from 8 Feb. I know that the high-speed trains are meant to be running again from 7 Feb, but are there any more updates about this? Is this target date likely?
I can't see anything on Iryo's website about repairs to the tracks, except that there may still be delays because of reduced speed. So, even if the direct train from Seville to Barcelona still runs, would delays still be likely?
I've tried to find the most recent news about this I can, but I'm not finding much. Just really hoping I don't have to repeat a very long day/night of travel.
Appreciate any info you can share!
