Adif advierte de que la vía en el punto del siniestro de Adamuz vuelve a presentar deformaciones

The Urda accident investigation is examining whether Adif used the incorrect protocol numerous times. The instruction from Adif's rail traffic control center in Madrid-Atocha on Wednesday at 8:36 am instructed an AVE train from Madrid to Sevilla to depart with normal speed (limited to 200 kilometers per hour) following a stop due to the LZB signaling system failure.

Sources close to the Urda investigation explain that dozens of similar incidents on the Madrid-Sevilla line involving LZB technology malfunctions will also be scrutinized by the independent technical inquiry authority AITAT and the judicial police. That train, which was allowed to exceed the speed limit, collided with a stationary Iryo train, resulting in 69 fatalities.

Adif's infrastructure manager has begun gathering documentation for immediate transfer to the investigation.
