Metro de Madrid’s 10000 series (first GoA 4 trains at the network) has already been spotted on Line 6. This weekend, the line is not operating so that the new trains can be tested. Olivia (@trainsbyolivia on X) has captured these test runs at Príncipe Pío.

This train from Siemens Mobility is travelling without anyone at the controls. After receiving the command, it checks that the equipment is working properly and starts moving, without the need for any specific track-side equipment – just ETCS Level 2. It detects all obstacles. #railinnotrans

InnoTrans is a great place to realise just how much equipment, how many companies and how many people are needed to build a train. Air conditioning, lighting, seats and upholstery…

This is the original plan. Extending line 10 to Madrid Nuevo Norte and Metronorte (as line 14) to Chamartín replacing line 10 in that section. Chamartín and Tres Olivos stations were built ready for this. Even line 10 has a 'temporarily' closed curve to enter Chamartín.

Destination: "Madrid P.A.A.G." — this is how Renfe has managed to fit the full name of Madrid Puerta de Atocha Almudena Grandes onto the destination display. Do you think it is a good solution, or should it simply read "Madrid Atocha"? Photo by Maikel! (@pido_hablar on X)

We need rail and mobility experts. This is happening in Spain: A political party is campaigning to move the Tudela's rail station from the city centre to the outskirts. Do you think that such thing is a good or bad idea?

What happens if you stick a level crossing right by a tunnel mouth? If a steam train comes barrelling through, the video looks stunning until the train clears off. Clip posted by Wolle Wöllner on X.
