Renfe performs technical adjustments on new Stadler trains in Madrid
Renfe is conducting technical adjustments and software updates on its new Stadler 453 trains used in the Cercanías Madrid network. While some reports suggest the units were pulled from service due to braking and communication issues, Renfe maintains that these are "habitual adjustments" and routine testing necessary for the progressive incorporation of the new fleet.
In addition to the Stadler fleet updates, various other railway incidents have been reported in Spain. These include catenary failures affecting Madrid's C-3 and C-4 lines, signaling issues in Antequera impacting high-speed connections between Córdoba and Málaga, and ongoing delays in the Gijón metrotrén project. Meanwhile, Adif has completed accessibility improvements at the Montcada-Ripollet station, and Metro de Madrid is increasing service capacity to accommodate large-scale concerts in the region.
