Spain’s transport network faces urgent scrutiny after two deadly train accidents rocked the country this week. A commuter train near Barcelona collided with debris from a collapsed wall on Tuesday (January 20, 2026), killing one person and injuring 37 – just two days after a high-speed train crash in Andalusia claimed 42 lives. 🚨
Catalan authorities confirmed the wall collapse was triggered by severe weather, with Adif rail operators halting all regional services. Meanwhile, Spain’s royal family visited survivors of Sunday’s (January 18) Andalusia collision, where over 120 were injured. 🏥
These back-to-back tragedies – the deadliest in over a decade – have sparked nationwide calls for infrastructure reviews. As Transport Minister García vowed “immediate safety upgrades,” commuters demand answers: “How many warnings do we need?” 💬
