Álvaro Fernández Heredia

“The Iryo train, which was travelling at 110kmh, was en route from Malaga to Madrid when it derailed, Renfe president Álvaro Fernandez Heredia said on radio station Cadena Ser.”

“the trains were going at a lower speed than the limit set for that part of the line and the signaling system prevents trains from exceeding that limit.”

“It was "too early" to know the cause of the tragedy and asked for patience.”

“The president of Renfe, Álvaro Fernández de Heredia, ruled out the involvement of speed or human error in the crash and said that a failure in the track or train remains the main hypothesis.”

“It was too early to talk about the cause.”

“told Spanish radio the trains were going at a lower speed than the limit set for that part of the line and the signaling system prevents trains from exceeding that limit.”
