Renfe, the Spanish railway operator, has announced the resumption of high-speed train services between Madrid and Andalusia, including to the tourist city of Seville, after a month from the tragic collision in Adamuz, which resulted in the death of 46 people.
The accident, which occurred on January 18, led to the suspension of rail traffic and its replacement with buses. The Minister of Transport, Oscar Puente, had planned to reopen the lines at the beginning of February, but storms delayed the repair work.
Although the service to Seville, Cadiz, Granada, Almeria, and Huelva has been restored, the Madrid-Malaga connection will return to normal only at the beginning of March. The incident has reignited debates in Spain regarding the safety of the railway network, which is the second largest in the world. The investigation suggests that the derailment of the Iryo train was caused by a break in a rail.
