Drunk driver crash on the Soller train: Why a safety gap remains

Answer

Is the historic Sóller train still safe to use after the crash in Palma?

The train itself is still part of Mallorca's transport network and island heritage, but the crash showed how exposed it can be at certain crossings. The concern is less about the train line itself and more about the points where road traffic and tracks intersect. Safety improvements at those locations are the key issue.
