The College of Civil Engineers warns of the high number of incidents on the Madrid-Seville line

The Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos has raised concerns about the high number of incidents on the Madrid-Sevilla line, urging a significant investment in maintenance. Iñaki Barrón, a former CIAF president, emphasizes that the railway should be treated as a state project rather than a political one. He highlights the need for 10 billion euros over the next decade to maintain high-speed rail infrastructure, citing 170 incidents this year as alarming. Barrón calls for a thorough analysis of these incidents and stresses the importance of restoring the credibility of the Spanish railway system. He also advocates for better integration of operators in control centers and improved training for professionals to handle exceptional situations effectively.
