Adif

Adif is Spain's state-owned railway infrastructure manager. It is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the country's rail network. Adif is currently newsworthy due to a series of recent train accidents in Spain, including a deadly high-speed train collision near Cordoba, a commuter train derailment near Barcelona caused by a collapsed retaining wall, and a collision between a train and a construction crane in Cartagena. These incidents, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries, have placed Spain's rail network under intense scrutiny. The accidents have prompted investigations into the causes and raised concerns about safety standards and infrastructure maintenance, leading to temporary closures of sections of the high-speed rail network.
