US EditionCable theft in Spain delays thousands of high-speed rail passengers
- Over 10,000 passengers faced major delays on May 4 after copper cables were stolen from the high-speed rail route connecting Toledo province with Seville and Madrid.
- The disruption arose after thieves stole about 300 meters of signaling cables in four locations within a 10-kilometer radius near Mora, Orgaz, and Urda, compounded by a technical fault involving an Iryo train.
- Approximately 30 trains, including high-speed AVE and AVANT services, faced delays of up to one hour, leaving many passengers stranded for hours with limited communication and no alternative arrangements.
- Renfe's president Álvaro Fernández de Heredia said the cable theft caused delays of up to an hour but the main disruption was due to the technical snag of a stranded Iryo train requiring catenary repairs.
- The Ministry of Transport called the theft a serious act of sabotage, urged public assistance in identifying culprits, and pledged to investigate and prevent future incidents, while service was expected to normalize during the day.
