"Adamuz": Who bears responsibility for the blood on the tracks?

Answer

Why are train accidents like Adamuz still possible on modern railway lines?

The key issue is often not just the train itself, but the interaction between infrastructure, operators, and safety systems. That is why investigators are examining technical interfaces and operational procedures.
