More Staff for Mallorca's Trains: Is That Really Enough?

Answer

What is the problem with the single-track sections to Sa Pobla and Manacor?

Single-track sections limit how many trains can pass and how flexible the timetable can be. On Mallorca, that means even with more staff, services to Sa Pobla or Manacor can still run into capacity problems if there are no passing loops or modern signalling. The network needs technical upgrades as well as more employees.
