Iryo denies that its train received an order to resume movement before the accident in Urda (Toledo) and contradicts the version of the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente.
According to hispanidad.com, Iryo claims that its train did not receive any order to resume movement before the accident that occurred in Urda (Toledo). Thus, the company disagrees with the version provided by the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente.
Company sources explain that the train remained stopped while its safety systems were being restarted, which had failed and did not allow it to continue. According to the company, its driver notified the control centre of Adif in Atocha that the LZB system had failed and that the unit was stopped, waiting to resolve the issue.
The company also recalls the intervention of its CEO, Fabrizio Favara, in the Senate, within the investigation committee on the state of the railway network. Favara pointed out at that time that when the LZB system fails on the high-speed line Madrid-Andalucía, Iryo trains disconnect:
“It stops, it cannot move and it takes quite a while to reconnect and start the service again.”
According to Favara himself, this is the most frequent failure experienced by their trains on that line.
