Body assures that there is no "forecast" to close the Madrid-Barcelona line during the works

Carlos Cuerpo, the new Minister of Transport, stated there are no plans to close the Madrid-Barcelona line during upcoming works. His predecessor had suggested this possibility, which sparked controversy. Cuerpo emphasized the importance of maintaining train operations and is open to adjusting train speeds if necessary. He aims to restore confidence among workers and is committed to addressing the concerns raised by unions. Additionally, he plans to meet with victims' representatives from a recent accident and has secured funding for network improvements over the next five years.
