Engineers call for an investment of 10 billion for the high-speed network

Iñaki Barrón, former president of the CIAF, calls for a €10 billion investment to maintain Spain's high-speed rail over the next decade, citing 170 incidents in the LZB system as abnormal. He emphasizes the need for thorough analysis of these incidents and criticizes the dual signaling systems in use, arguing they complicate operations. Barrón insists that the safety system LZB is reliable and that the increase in train traffic due to market liberalization does not correlate with accidents. He advocates for a comprehensive renewal of the rail network without drastic service interruptions and stresses the importance of viewing railways as a state project requiring long-term planning and maintenance.
