Emergencies in Madrid on 03/08/2026

On August 3, 2026, high-speed rail traffic between Madrid and Levante was interrupted for about an hour and a half due to the presence of a person on the tracks inside the Atocha-Chamartín tunnel. This incident affected the three high-speed operators: Renfe, Ouigo, and Iryo, requiring trains carrying hundreds of passengers to stop.

Service was restored at 11:15, though delays are expected along the Madrid-Levante axis. We encourage people to support hospitals and victims by donating blood. You can find information on blood donation centers in Madrid.
