When does the Mitre train return to Retiro
The Mitre train services will resume operations at Retiro station after a two-month hiatus due to operational trials and renovations.
The Mitre train services, which include the Tigre, J. L. Suárez, and Bartolomé Mitre branches, will resume operations at Retiro station on Thursday, March 12, following a two-month interruption. This break was necessary to complete operational trials of a newly upgraded signaling system, as confirmed by Trenes Argentinos.
The closure of services began on January 10, lasting approximately 50 days, as the Tigre branch underwent track renovations and the Mitre and Suárez branches were blocked from reaching Retiro for signaling improvements. These upgrades were part of a broader initiative under the declared Railway Emergency, aimed at enhancing the safety and reliability of rail services in the region.
The return of services is a significant development for commuters reliant on these branches for travel into and out of the city, effectively restoring an important transit link. Passengers can now expect improved infrastructure and service reliability as they return to using the train to reach Retiro, a key transportation hub in Buenos Aires.
