The circulation in the AVE tunnel that connects the Madrid stations of Atocha and Chamartin has been interrupted by a derailment, as noted by Renfe this Saturday afternoon.
The railway company has detailed in a statement that the incident occurred due to “a shaft exit in the tail unit of an empty material during a maneuver.”
“The unit was empty and the driver was not injured,” the operator added. Likewise, Renfe has indicated that this incident It is especially affecting the AVE rail traffic that connects Madrid with the east of the State.
As a consequence, the trains end or begin their journey at the Puerta de Atocha station, from which travelers are relocated to a Cercanías shuttle service to Madrid Chamartín, station from which they will continue their train journey to their destination.
