US EditionBack on Track: Spain’s Madrid‑Sevilla High-Speed Trains Resume After Adamuz Repairs
Adif finished rebuilding damaged tracks near Adamuz after a deadly derailment, enabling Madrid-Sevilla high-speed trains to resume following nearly a month-long closure.
- This Tuesday, Adif announced it had finished reconstruction of the Adamuz section and placed the infrastructure at operators' disposal ahead of the planned reopening.
- The Adamuz derailment on January 18 killed 46 and severely damaged infrastructure, forcing a nearly month‑long suspension and prompting national transport authorities to introduce enhanced inspection protocols.
- All three operators have put tickets on sale for travel from this Tuesday, while during the closure passengers transferred at Villanueva de Córdoba to buses and Renfe plans a later start than Ouigo and Iryo for a staged restart.
- Authorities and operators will monitor performance closely as services resume, with restoring travel between Madrid and Andalucía, especially Sevilla, a top priority for national transport authorities.
- Adif had awaited judicial authorisation late in January before repairs began, and while the government set a target reopening for this Tuesday, train companies may delay to Wednesday if checks extend.
