Adif

Adif is Spain's state-owned railway infrastructure manager. It is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and safety of the country's rail network. Adif is currently newsworthy due to a series of recent train accidents in Spain, including a high-speed train collision near Cordoba that resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries, and a commuter train derailment near Barcelona caused by a collapsed retaining wall. These incidents have brought intense scrutiny to Adif's management and maintenance of the rail network, particularly regarding safety protocols and infrastructure integrity. The Spanish Prime Minister has vowed to investigate the causes of the crashes. The incidents have led to temporary closures of parts of the high-speed rail network and raised concerns about the overall safety and reliability of train travel in Spain.
