Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca is running extra trains on the route on three fair weekends ahead of the traditional market day Dijous Bo additional trains on the Palma–Inca route. The Balearic regional government and the transport operator confirmed on 21 October 2026 that the enhanced service will run on the weekends of 24/25 October, 31 October/1 November and 7/8 November, supplementing the regular timetables.
According to the operator, the special and additional trains will run mainly in the afternoon and evening. The first extra train is due to leave Palma at 15:25, with the last departing from Inca at 22:40. The trains will stop at all intermediate stations. Specific capacity figures and any adjustments will be announced on a day-to-day basis, and passengers are advised to check the current timetables before travelling.
Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca says the measure repeats arrangements that have worked well on the island’s busiest event days. Passenger numbers are expected to rise significantly on the Inca fair weekends, as the autumn fairs in November culminate in Dijous Bo, one of Mallorca’s biggest traditional market days. The regional government recommends that visitors travel to and from the fairs by train to avoid congestion on the roads around the fairgrounds.
The decision to run extra trains on the three weekends follows experience from previous years, when more frequent services on similar dates helped spread passenger flows and maintain punctuality. No official estimates have yet been released for expected passenger numbers or the additional seating capacity. The authorities and operator plan to publish further details at short notice, including possible extra services at the start and end of the day.
The announcement applies only to the Palma–Inca line. No changes to other lines have been announced. The operator is Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca, the state railway company of the Balearic Islands. The town of Inca is organising the fair programmes on the weekends concerned; Dijous Bo traditionally takes place on the second Thursday in November. Statements about programme details and visitor numbers come from the respective organisers, while forecasts for rail demand come from the operator.
The early announcement is intended to help travellers plan their journeys. The regional government stresses that the special services supplement the regular timetable rather than replacing it, offering additional options to ease congestion.
