Overview

• Renfe confirmed an incident on the Huesca–Sevilla service that left the train stopped in Huesca, rebooked about 100 passengers to a regional train, and added roughly 50 minutes to the journey.
• Adif reported onboard equipment issues on two Iryo trains that slowed services between Madrid and Sevilla, causing average delays of about 30 minutes before being resolved late Wednesday.
• A fire near the track between Puente Genil and Antequera briefly interrupted AVE services linking Córdoba with Málaga and Granada, with circulation restored roughly an hour later.
• The government reports a 76.7% punctuality rate for AVE services on the Madrid–Córdoba–Seville line in 2023, indicating nearly a quarter of trains arrived late under Spain’s reporting criteria.
• Spain classifies delays at a 15‑minute threshold, whereas EU rail monitoring uses five minutes, meaning performance would appear worse under the stricter EU standard.
