Possible Madrid–Catalonia high-speed rail closure raises safety questions
1 min Machine translated About Spain
You say the minister has said that he is considering the possibility of shutting down for a year the Madrid, uh, Catalonia corridor.
But until very recently, he was saying that on that corridor, speeds would exceed three hundred and fifty kilometers per hour.
But can you imagine that the same citizen who says that high- speed rail is at its best moment in Spain's history and that the corridor is already in a position to certify speeds exceeding three hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, now tells those of us who have taken that AVE, those who still take it, those who still travel on it,
that he is considering the possibility of closing that corridor for a year, which is one of the newest?
Therefore, the Madrid- Andalusia corridor, which is the longest-running, the oldest, that there have already been two accidents, more than 115 dead, what are you going to do about that route?
Anyway, no, I don't want to keep thinking out loud what I think…
what I've been thinking for some time, but you asked me that question.
I didn't know the minister had said that, I assure you.
I couldn't have imagined it.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Dice usted que el ministro ha dicho que está valorando la posibilidad de interrumpir durante un año al corredor Madrid, eh, Cataluña.
Pero si hasta hace bien poco estuvo diciendo que ese corredor se iban a superar velocidades de trescientos cincuenta kilómetros hora.
¿Pero usted se imagina que el mismo ciudadano que dice que la alta velocidad está en el mejor momento de la historia de España y que ya tiene el corredor en condiciones de poder acreditar velocidades superiores a trescientos cincuenta kilómetros hora, que ahora le diga a los que hemos tomado ese AVE, a los que
lo siguen cogiendo, a los que siguen circulando, que está valorando la posibilidad de un año de clausura ese corredor, que es de los más nuevos?
Por tanto, el corredor Madrid-Andalucía, que es el más longevo, el más antiguo, que ya se han producido dos accidentes, más de ciento cin-quince muertos, ¿qué va a hacer con ese corredor?
En fin, no, no quiero seguir pensando en alto lo que pienso... lo que pienso desde hace algún tiempo, pero usted me ha hecho esa pregunta.
Yo ignoraba que el ministro hubiese dicho eso, se lo, se lo aseguro.
No me lo podía imaginar.
