Answer

What is the train route Palma–Manacor being used for in Mallorca rail safety discussions?

The Palma–Manacor line is being suggested as a pilot route to test new procedures under real operating conditions. That makes sense because pilot projects can show whether safety routines work before they are introduced across the whole network. It is a practical way to check whether new rules are reliable on an exposed line.
