Twelve warning letters to Adif and the regulator between the tragedies of Adamuz and Urda: "The system is at the limit of its seams"

Following the Adamuz train accident, railway workers expressed concerns about safety and working conditions, citing excessive workloads and mental fatigue. Unions reported overwhelming call volumes and inadequate staffing in control centers, leading to heightened stress among operators. Despite multiple warnings to authorities, including requests for risk assessments and staffing increases, responses were slow and insufficient. The situation escalated with ongoing complaints about long shifts and lack of breaks, culminating in a final warning just before another accident occurred. The unions emphasized the urgent need for regulatory changes to ensure safety and prevent human error.
