Concrete steps to reduce rail risk in Spain and Mallorca

A set of practical measures can significantly reduce risk, including retrofitting critical track sections with automatic braking and ETCS where possible. Independent safety audits of all operators should be mandatory, publicly accessible, with clear deadlines for fixing deficiencies. Level crossings must be secured, weather risk checklists created, vegetation and drainage managed, and training and drills with local communities strengthened, plus transparent post-accident updates.
