Overview
- Adif halted the Madrid–Galicia high-speed line and cut key conventional segments in León, Zamora and Ourense as active wildfires and extreme temperatures made operations unsafe.
- Transport Minister Óscar Puente confirmed on X that no high-speed trains would run on Monday and authorities have ruled out road alternatives due to ongoing fire conditions.
- Renfe and InfoRenfe activated no-cost ticket modifications and refunds and are running limited special services between Zamora and Madrid with updated evening schedules.
- Passengers at A Coruña, Santiago and Vigo describe chaotic station scenes, overloaded information channels and persistent uncertainty over travel plans.
- In the absence of official contingencies, many travelers are hiring €50-per-head microbuses, paying up to €800 for taxis or extending hotel stays while awaiting service restoration.
