- Cancelled trains

Recorded from 00:00 to 23:59. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 47,144 stops that had one, as the operator sent it. Cancelled trains (marked cancelled, or with every stop skipped), skipped stops and values over an hour early or twelve hours late are left out, as are 255 placeholder values the feed sent instead of a time (a train “here, now” hours late, or one time repeated at every stop). 99% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.
The archive saw 3,772 of the 4,391 trains the timetable planned for this day.
Archive outage from 05:00 to 12:15: the archive itself recorded nothing then, from any source (the archive's collector ran out of memory and restarted in a loop). Our fault, not Renfe Cercanías’s: these figures cover the rest of the day.
Most delayed trains
| Line | Left its first stop | Where it was latest | Delay |
|---|---|---|---|
| R2S Sant Vicenc de Calders -Barcelona-Estació de França | Barcelona Estació de França | 533 min | |

Left out of this list: 1 train that was late by the same five hours or more at every stop, more often a feed placeholder than a real delay.

What the columns mean
service_date- The day the train was scheduled to run.
route- The line, as the operator names it (for example IC 3 or S2).
trip_id- The operator’s code for this train run. The same train on another day has another code.

stop_sequence, stop_id, stop_name- Which stop along the route: its position, code and name.

predicted_arrival, predicted_departure- The time the operator last announced for that stop, in local time.
observed_at- When that last announcement was seen. After the train has passed, it is what happened.
trip_status- scheduled, cancelled or added (a train that was not in the timetable).
stop_status- skipped when the train did not stop there; empty otherwise.
route_id- The route’s code in the timetable, to join with it.
