Overview
- A Captrain freight convoy carrying steel derailed in As Neves on Saturday evening, with 9 of 17 wagons off the tracks and the driver injured.
- ADIF reports that clearing the site is technically complex due to poor access, so it cannot evaluate damage or set a timeline to restore service.
- Power is cut between Guillarei and Arbo and Renfe is running a road-transport plan for regional and Alvia services between Vigo and Ourense.
- Early indications point to a collision with a wall that may have detached after recent heavy rains, a line of inquiry that remains unconfirmed.
- BNG deputy Néstor Rego has asked the Transport Ministry to open an investigation and, if structural failures are verified, to review slopes and safety elements on the route.
