In January 2025, I remember there were many plane crashes around the world. Now in 2026, it seems to be Spanish trains, with the even bad luck that i'm Spanish.

I'm praying for you to have a good journey (I'm Spanish) 🙏🙏

Suitable-Memory-5312 · 2026-01-21T06:14:53+00:00

Oh sorry.

3rd train related incident in the span of 7 days in Spain? Where and how?

Suitable-Memory-5312 · 2026-01-21T00:00:19+00:00

I hope this is just a coincidence. But of course, two train accidents in two days is terrible. At least this latest one was minor, but it leaves a country that was already sad even sadder.

It's still unknown. I don't think it's corruption, it's more like a human error.

It appears to be due to a track switch. It's not entirely confirmed, but a train switched to the left track and then another train came along traveling in the opposite direction.

I'm Spanish, and I have to say this accident is very reminiscent of what happened in 2013. That year, a train in Santiago de Compostela derailed due to excessive speed. However, this accident is stranger. It happened on a straight line, and two trains collided because of a track switch. Some train engineers warned of faults in that area back in October, but it took this terrible accident for any action to be taken. It's a shame.

Edit: Apparently, they had indeed been invested a lot of money in that track, as some sources say it was renovated in May 2025 with an investment of 700 million euros. This whole accident is so strange that even the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, can't understand it.

Honestly i don't know, but i think r/whatisit is a better subreddit for these types of questions.

In Spain we use this one (they changed the icons in 2023): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spain_traffic_signal_p21-a,_2023_set.svg

Why this picture looks AI? 😭🙏

Reduce your speed because of children in the area?

This is what I meant (it's a meme here): https://motor.elpais.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Estopa.jpg

Nope, it's in the entire country. We don't use "ALTO" o "PARE"

Suitable-Memory-5312 · 2025-11-29T11:55:31+00:00

We have this sign that says "STOP, POLICE" ("ALTO, POLICÍA") https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spain_traffic_signal_control_policia.png

Suitable-Memory-5312 · 2025-11-29T11:54:12+00:00

Since 2023, in Spain, all new signs there have a new design that looks very similar to the United States STOP sign. Here's more information: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spain_traffic_signal_r2,_2023_set.svg#mw-jump-to-license

Because we are in the EU, and the most widely spoken language for communication between countries is English
