The speed limitation, imposed by the operator Adif, affects Renfe AVE trains as well as Iryo and Ouigo units covering the same route. This safety measure was implemented on a section where trains usually exceed 200 km/h.
This break in no case endangers circulation, and the necessary interventions have been carried out since last night.
This incident adds to the “total mess” currently experienced by Catalonia's railway network, especially the Rodalies commuter network. Just this Monday, a failure at the Adif control center in Estació de França in Barcelona caused two total service stoppages in less than two hours.
The High-Speed incident occurs at a time of maximum precaution, coinciding with the ongoing investigation into a serious AVE accident in Adamuz (Córdoba), where the possible responsibility of the track condition in the tragedy is being analyzed.
