Seems a bit dodgy, phoning up the control centre to tell them that they (the drivers) are going too fast :/ If they know they're going to fast then slow down. It seems this accident is in accordance with poor training and practice, which happens far too frequently in Spain.

Bloody hell at the video. May those who have died RIP :(

I work within the railway and you won't believe the amount of complaints and abuse you get when you say a trains been delayed/canceled due to a fault with the train. Tempted to show this next time a customer complains.

I saw someone earlier that the train was running around 5 minutes late - could be a possibility that the driver(s) were trying to make up the delay by going faster.

190kms p/h holy..........
RIP :(
