Last week on Wednesday, a high-speed train operated by state-owned Renfe slammed into a stationary train at an estimated speed of 60 to 200 kilometres per hour (100 to 125 miles per hour).

Trains on a particular stretch of the line had been ordered to stop after a signal failure.

Other safety measures to be introduced include an artificial intelligence agent designed to reduce human error by detecting anomalies and monitoring conversations between train drivers and controllers.

Puente said Spain would be the first country to roll out such a safety mechanism.
