By GlobalDataA temporary workshop will be constructed at the Fuencarral Norte Auxiliary Maintenance Base, which will remain operational until the main project is completed.
This provisional workshop will be 220m long and 15mwide, and feature two Iberian gauge tracks on metal pillars. The tracks within the workshop will be electrified using a rigid catenary system anchored to the structure.
This initiative is expected to bolster the efficiency, safety, and capacity of railway maintenance.
In a related effort to improve rail services, Renfe, in partnership with Adif and Ineco, has recently introduced an accessible help point at Málaga’s María Zambrano station as part of the European Rail Joint Undertaking’s MOTIONAL project.
This help point is designed to meet universal accessibility standards and assist passengers with disabilities, featuring an ergonomic design and offering touchscreen and audio support for up to four users simultaneously.
