Overview

• Adif reported a collapse of about 300 servers that halted high‑speed traffic to and from Madrid, with backup systems restoring circulation and passengers facing delays exceeding an hour and the option to change or cancel tickets at no cost.
• Transport minister Óscar Puente told Congress external disruptions surged 622% this summer and highlighted an aging fleet, detailing Spain’s largest train procurement of more than 475 units and cautioning of roughly two years of adjustment as new stock arrives.
• A power‑supply fault near Atocha stopped Cercanías lines C‑2, C‑7, C‑8 and C‑10, prompting some passengers to descend to the tracks before security teams cleared the area and service was progressively recovered.
• In Catalonia, storms and fallen trees disrupted multiple Rodalies routes and an R14 breakdown stranded about 100 passengers between La Plana‑Picamoixons and Alcover, triggering a Ferrocat pre‑alert and road‑based alternatives to Tarragona.
• In Mexico City, intense rain flooded Metro Line A and temporarily suspended service between Guelatao and La Paz before full restoration, while authorities set December 3, 2026 for staged closures to modernize Line 3 and reported a brief stoppage after a person fell onto the tracks.
