Transportes reducirá la circulación en la vía Madrid-Sevilla para separar más los trenes hasta que esté en pie el nuevo sistema de seguridad ERTMS

The Spanish Ministry of Transport has announced a reduction in travel frequencies on the Madrid-Seville line, expected to commence in the first weeks of 2027, in preparation for the new ERTMS safety system to replace the older LZB system. The changes will also include new technologies in Adif's traffic control centers, modifications to control and safety protocols, and improvements in working conditions for Adif personnel across the 20 control centers spread across conventional and high-speed networks.

Transport Minister Óscar Puente reacted to the train accident in Urda (Toledo) on Wednesday, October 28, by presenting a series of measures to ensure the reliability of the railway system to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday. Among these measures, he highlighted the need for reduced traffic exclusively on the Southern Corridor to achieve greater separation between trains. On Tuesday at 17:00, Puente will appear at the Congress to provide explanations on the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
