Barcelona - Toulouse & Lyon train schedule modifications due to bank holidays in May

Public holidays in May 2024 both in France (01/05, 08/05, 09/05, 20/05) and in Spain (01/05, 20/05) are creating operational challenges for rail traffic due to line closures with civil works planned by railway infrastructures.

After carrying thorough analysis with our rail traction operator, we need to modify transport plan on the Barcelona - Lyon and Barcelona – Toulouse routes with some schedule changes and train cancellations.

We apologize for this inconvenience. Your usual Maersk contact persons are available to propose you alternative solutions.

Week 19

In week 19 (8th and 9th of May are bank holidays in France), unfortunately SNCF Réseau is completely interrupting rail traffic in Narbonne rail station from 08/05 to 12/05 inclusive for major infrastructure works, and this will prevent our train from running.

Bringing forward the rotation to Monday 06/05 / Tuesday 07/05 is not feasible, we have tried all possible options.

Such work-related interruptions also occur at other points on the French rail network during this period, and we know that other operators on other corridors are experiencing the same difficulty on different rail corridors.
