On 20 January 2026, a Rodalies de Catalunya commuter train collided with a retaining wall after it was struck by a landslide, causing the train to derail between Gelida and Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Catalonia. A trainee driver who travelled in the driver's cab was killed and at least 37 passengers were injured. Preliminary investigations state that the cause of the retaining wall collapse was heavy rainfall during Storm Harry. The derailment occurred just two days after two trains collided in Adamuz in southern Spain, killing 46 people.
