Originating in Murcia del Carmen, AVE 5843 is also suspended, leaving at 1:53 p.m. this Sunday, adds the InfoRenfe notice.
On Saturday afternoon there was the axle output in the tail unit of an empty train during a maneuver inside the tunnel that connects the Puerta de Atocha and Chamartín High Speed stations.
After that train derailed, delays arose that caused crowds of travelers at the station, to which was added the presence of a man who entered an unauthorized access area and threatened to jump off a catwalk.
This caused the activation of the emergency protocol and total power cut at the station at 7:30 p.m., until that person was rescued at 9:20 p.m. and tension was restored on the railway line, before the gradual resumption of train traffic.
At the entrance to Atocha, an Alvia Alicante-Gijón, an Avant Toledo-Madrid, an Avant Madrid-Puertollano, an AVE Figueres-Madrid and an AVE Madrid-Seville were detained, in addition to the suspension of service at previous stations for several trains. Medium Distance and Cercanías.
