Catalonia wakes up this Monday with a new day of uncertainty in transport. The railway chaos has moved to the roads, especially on the access roads to Barcelona, with significant delays. In less than two hours, the Rodalies service has suffered two total stoppages. The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, has stated that Adif does not rule out that the two crashes in just under an hour at the management company’s control center in Catalonia may have occurred due to a cyber attack. “We don’t know why it happened. One of the hypotheses is a cyber attack, but we still don’t know,” he said. Adif does not rule out any hypothesis regarding what has been a computer failure in the system. Meanwhile, the investigation continues to clarify the causes of the train accident in Adamuz (Córdoba), in which 45 people died. “There is a point of cruelty in putting the burden on the emergency services because they did not go to Alvia in less time,” the minister said in an interview on La1. Puente has defended that the emergency teams arrived at the scene “in a very short time” and that they began to treat the injured from the Iryo, since it was the first train they encountered upon arrival.
