The CEO of Iryo warned 23 days before the accident that the LZB failures left their trains immobilized

The investigation into the deadly train accident in Urda, Toledo, which resulted in 69 fatalities, is focusing on the control center's responsibility. Minister Óscar Puente downplayed the significance of a prior failure in the LZB signaling system, stating such failures are common. Fabrizio Favara, CEO of Iryo, had previously warned about LZB disconnections affecting train operations. On the day of the accident, a failure in the LZB system led to halted trains, and despite this, an AVE train was authorized to proceed, resulting in a collision. The investigation will explore the frequency of LZB failures and the communication of these issues to those managing real-time incidents.
