Iryo

Iryo is a high-speed rail operator whose train was involved in a fatal collision with a Renfe Alvia train in Adamuz, Córdoba, Spain on January 18th. The accident, which claimed the lives of 46 people, is currently under investigation. Recent reports from the Guardia Civil suggest the railway track broke the day before the collision, a claim disputed by Adif, the railway infrastructure manager. The investigation is focusing on the cause of the track failure, the response of the railway safety systems, and whether a braking system was activated on the Alvia train. The CIAF (Railway Accident Investigation Commission) is also involved, seeking access to the train wreckage. Despite the ongoing investigation and temporary suspension, Iryo, along with Ouigo, is planning to resume ticket sales between Madrid and Málaga starting April 27th, indicating a potential reopening of the high-speed line.
