Renfe on Monday 19 October 2026, at 18:30, resumed train services on the Cercanías-lines C1 (Valencia–Gandia) and C2 (Valencia–Xàtiva–Moixent) again. Services had been suspended since Sunday because of weather damage caused by the DANA Adam for safety reasons. According to Adif services resumed after the affected sections had been inspected and cleared for use.
Both lines had been suspended on Sunday after heavy rain and flooding damaged parts of the infrastructure in Valencia province. Restrictions remained in place on Monday morning; in the evening, Renfe announced a gradual return to normal and confirmed that C1 and C2 were fully back in service.
Adif said inspections had focused on the track, points, drainage and signalling. Services were only authorised to resume once the checks had been completed. Renfe warned that there could be occasional timetable changes and delays in the first few hours after the line reopened. The companies gave no exact number of trains affected or specific repair figures.
DANA Adam brought heavy rain to parts of the Comunitat Valenciana over the weekend. Adif and Renfe then suspended services as a precaution to protect passengers and staff and stabilise conditions on the lines. For passengers, the latest decision means a return to regular services on both main routes of the Valencia Cercanías network. However, conditions remain weather-dependent; short-notice restrictions on individual sections are possible.
Renfe and Adif recommend that passengers check the latest updates through official information channels before travelling. The Agencia Estatal de Meteorología had weather warnings in force in parts of the region on Sunday and Monday; these were gradually downgraded during the day. The operators did not say whether further maintenance work in the coming days would lead to local service changes, and said they would continue to provide updates.
The resumption of C1 and C2 services is crucial for commuting in Greater Valencia. As well as serving the regional capital, both lines connect important hubs such as Xàtiva and link surrounding areas along the coast to Gandia and inland to Moixent. The reopening brings local rail services in the region largely back to normal, though they remain closely dependent on further weather developments.
