Train Derailment And Collision Near Madrid
The rail startup Velvet has announced plans to launch its first TGV-style high-speed train service starting in 2028. The service is expected to connect major French cities including Paris, Bordeaux, Rennes, and Nantes, positioning itself as a competitor to the state-owned SNCF. This move signals a significant shift in the French rail market landscape. A 29-page report details a critical minute during a train accident involving a vehicle traveling at 216 kilometers per hour. At 19:43:06, the vehicle was moving at high speed before a derailment occurred 27 seconds later. The train subsequently slowed to zero kilometers per hour and invaded the opposing track, resulting in a collision. An investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
