The College of Civil Engineers warns of the high number of incidents on the Madrid-Seville line
Former CIAF President Iñaki Barrón Urges Allocation of 10 Billion for High-Speed Rail Maintenance and Calls for Depoliticization of Railway Strategy
Iñaki Barrón, a veteran railway expert and vocal of the Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos, has stated that the railway is a state project, not a party or legislative project, amid a transportation crisis. He claims that more money is needed for infrastructure maintenance. Barrón defends the LZB safety system, which experienced a failure on October 28 on the Madrid-Sevilla line, leading to a fatal train collision that killed 69 people. The incident has led to the resignation of Transport Minister Óscar Puente.
