Transportes will reduce traffic on the Madrid-Sevilla route to further separate trains until the new ERTMS safety system is in place.

The Ministry of Transport in Spain will reduce train frequencies on the Madrid-Sevilla line until the ERTMS safety system is operational, expected in early 2027. This decision follows a recent train collision and aims to enhance safety through various measures, including double supervision of train orders and new traffic control technologies. The plan includes the introduction of artificial intelligence for monitoring and improved working conditions for Adif staff. Additionally, price limits will be imposed on alternative transport to prevent price hikes following the accident. The ministry is also considering further safety enhancements for train interiors and better training for traffic controllers.
