Spain Blackout. Sants Station Overwhelmed After The April 28th Blackout

On April 29, 2025, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, Sants Station, Barcelona's main railway hub, still faces long queues, confusion, and hundreds of stranded passengers. This situation follows the massive power and communications blackout that hits much of Spain on April 28, severely disrupting the national rail network. While services begin to resume slowly in the morning, many trains remain canceled or heavily delayed. Some travelers spend the night inside the station, where the Red Cross provides breakfast and emergency assistance. (Photo by Albert Llop/NurPhoto)
