Coinciding with the crisis in the rail sector, where the prices of some alternative transport options like air travel came under scrutiny from consumer organizations due to fears of abusive price hikes, the Spanish government has approved a royal decree-law with a mechanism to "limit prices of services or products" in an emergency situation that has disrupted the social and consumer situation.

TheInvestigation into Sunday night's train crash in AdamuzThe train crash, which has already left 42 dead, more than a hundred injured, and 43 missing, continues. Moments after the Adamuz train accident, the driver of the Iryo company contacted the Adif control center in Atocha to warn that he had experienced a "coupler" near the town in Córdoba province. The communication, recorded on the train's black box and published by [unclear - possibly "the train" or "the train"].Eldiario.esThe recording contains the initial description of what happened, when the driver still didn't have a complete understanding of the derailment or the extent of the collision with the other train involved.

The Valencian Government released this Wednesday the list of calls made by Carlos Mazón on the day of the disaster. This is a partial list because it does not include those made in the morning, nor the missed calls or those he did not answer on that fateful October 29th of last year. One of the new features in the documentation provided by the Presidency is that it expands the number of calls he made up to midnight and reveals that he did not contact the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, until 9:27 p.m., when the situation was completely out of control and the catastrophe had already claimed two lives. The call between the two leaders was repeated just four minutes later, at 9:31 p.m. Feijóo, when he visited Valencia two days after the flood, claimed to have been in "real-time" contact with Mazón since the evening of October 28, but the PP later rectified its position and stated that they spoke in the afternoon and evening of October 29, without specifying the time.
