• There has been a noticeable deterioration in the train service in Spain in recent weeks.
• The failures and delays in high-speed and commuter trains are evident.
• The current management system is under scrutiny due to these incidents.
• The manufacturer Talgo was pointed out by Renfe as responsible for some train stops.
• Renfe's supplier, Talgo, is in the process of being acquired by the Hungarian company Ganz Mavag.
• The high costs of the infrastructure bear a higher load of frequencies due to a liberalized market -the competition between Ouigo, Iryo, and Renfe-.

Conclusion: The poor administration of the railway system and the evasion of responsibilities by governmental figures and companies have led to a severe deterioration of service, thereby questioning the sustainability and viability of trains as a priority transport option in Spain.
