FACUA-Consumers in Action is sorry that tragedies like the 24th of July derailment, which claimed the lives of 79 people and left dozens more wounded, are necessary to increase rail network safety.
On the 13t of August, Adif announced in a circular that it will improve signalling and automatic break systems along stretches of tracks where engine drivers are required to drastically reduce speed as of this Saturday.
The association welcomes the fact that the Government has extended their safety review to other national rail network lines, as requested by FACUA, although clarification is sought for the motives behind opting for the Spanish Automatic Systems Warning ASFA, which is less advanced than the European Ertms.
