Live Spanish train delays: how to check if your Renfe train is late
TrainRadar is a live map of Renfe trains across Spain. Every train shows where it is right now, coloured by its delay: green on time, amber from 5 minutes late and red from 15. It's free and runs in your browser, in English or Spanish.
How to check your train
- Open mytrainradar.com on your phone or computer (tap EN for English).
- Search for the train number (for example 03021), the line (C5, R2…), a station or a city. You can also search from origin to destination: "Madrid to Seville".
- Tap the train to see its delay in minutes, direction, speed and next stop.
- Tap a station to see its next departures and the trains approaching it, with their delays.
Which trains it covers
- Cercanías and Rodalies commuter trains: every Renfe network (Madrid, Barcelona's Rodalies de Catalunya, Valencia, Seville, Málaga, Bilbao, Asturias and the rest), each line in its own colour.
- High-speed and long-distance: AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed and Intercity.
- Regional (Media Distancia) trains.
- OUIGO, from its published timetable (no live delays).
Where the data comes from
TrainRadar uses the open real-time data that Renfe Operadora publishes at data.renfe.com (CC BY 4.0): train positions, delays and service notices. OUIGO timetables come from the Spanish Ministry of Transport's National Access Point. When Renfe gives no position for a train, TrainRadar estimates it from the timetable and says so.
TrainRadar isn't a Renfe site and isn't affiliated with Renfe, Adif or OUIGO. Data can be late or wrong: for anything important, check Renfe's official channels.
Notices and punctuality
Renfe's service notices (engineering works, strikes, replacement buses, incidents) show on the map and in a list. TrainRadar records every train's delay, and shows each line's punctuality over the last 7 days for free. TrainRadar Pro (Android app, €1.99 a year) extends the history to 12 months and adds My trips, which logs the delay of each journey you take, handy for claiming compensation.
