The circulation of trains between Valencia and Madrid is suspended due to an incident

VALENCIA, July 23 (EUROPA PRESS) -

The circulation of trains departing and arriving in Valencia has been suspended after registering an incident in the facilities in the San Isidro tunnel, sources from Adif have informed Europa Press, stressing that everything possible is being done as quickly as possible to be able to provide a solution.

Around five in the morning a fire broke out in the vicinity of the tunnel that affected the area where the pumping station is located, which has caused the pumps to not work and it is not possible to reduce the water that has accumulated at this point. Specifically, a chest was set on fire in the pump well of the tunnel of the high-speed access channel to Valencia.

In this way, and due to the smoke from the fire --which affects air quality-- and the situation of the pumps, it has been decided to suspend the service for safety reasons.

At the moment, circulation between the Xàtiva and València Joaquín Sorolla fork is suspended and train departures to this destination have been paralyzed.

Among the routes affected are those of the AVE between the Valencian Community and Madrid, the Ouigo service between Joaquín Sorolla and Chamartín and the AVE Valencia-Seville. Likewise, an AVLO Madrid-València has stopped in Requena, an Ouigo and in Cuenca, among others.

From Adif they emphasize that everything possible is being done so that the incident is resolved as soon as possible. In fact, Adif teams are working on alternatives to extract the water.
