AVE train delayed near Villanueva de Gállego due to braking system failure
An AVE high-speed train traveling the Madrid-Zaragoza-Huesca route was immobilized for nearly two hours in Villanueva de Gállego on Friday night. The delay was caused by a technical failure in the train's braking system.
Approximately 117 passengers were affected by the incident. Travelers reported significant uncertainty as staff initially suggested a bus service might be provided before deciding to attempt repairs to continue the journey, potentially at reduced speeds. The situation was further complicated by the need for a specifically qualified driver to travel to the train's location, as the onboard personnel lacked the necessary certification to proceed under the circumstances.
