Antonio Martín Carrillo, the engineer who started the LZB in 1992: "It is a shame that a worker is blamed, the system failed"

Antonio Martín Carrillo, an aerospace engineer involved in Spain's high-speed rail, criticizes the government's handling of the Urda train tragedy. He highlights failures in the LZB system, which immobilized trains, and questions the investigation's transparency. Carrillo expresses disbelief over the government's blame on weaker parties and emphasizes the need for thorough investigations. He argues that the LZB system, outdated and prone to failures, should have been replaced by a modern system. He also defends the liberalization of rail services, asserting it can enhance efficiency. Carrillo's personal connection to the tragedy, with a close friend on one of the trains, adds to his concerns about safety and accountability in the rail system.
