It was the Minister of Development, Nacho Hernando, who usually has few mince words since his time as spokesman, now more than five years ago. “If they are not qualified to answer a letter -in relation to the one sent by the Board a few weeks ago to the Ministry of Development due to delays in the AVE-, even less to solve the problems of an excellent service such as the Avant” .
And it is that yesterday Friday the users of the Toledo-Madrid line again suffered delays early in the morning, as the company itself recognized through its social networks. Specifically, the fault was located on the railway line, between two towns such as Torrejón de Velasco and the place known as Los Gavilanes.
This meant that the first trains that circulated between the two cities, apart from the railway line between Madrid and Levante, were affected by this circumstance. The day began very soon with the railway incidents, but Renfe immediately said through its social networks that the issue had been resolved.
As it is not the first time that something of these circumstances has happened, the Minister of Public Works, Nacho Hernando, who yesterday chaired the Regional Commission for Territorial Planning and Urban Planning, immediately came to the fore to remind that it is not the first time and that ” They haven’t even responded to the letter we sent them a few weeks ago.”
And it is that the weariness of the users does not make more raise the tuning fork. An immaculate, exemplary, clean service and free of any shadow of inefficiency such as the AVE, has been transformed into another where incidents have marked the difficulties that its users encounter.
In fact, both Toledo and Ciudad Real, due to their good connection with Madrid, had become cities where it was possible to live, even working in the capital of Spain. However, the continuous setbacks that have been unleashed for a few months have led some users to reconsider their option of living in these two cities.
“If we must continually be demanding supporting documents and apologizing for being late for work due to reasons beyond our control, it makes no sense to continue in this line,” several affected travelers say. In fact, some of them, as LA RAZÓN has learned, have decided to leave this way of life and go to the outskirts of Madrid to overcome this series of adversities that have become unbearable.
After the knock given yesterday by the Minister of Public Works in front of all the regional press, the president of Renfe, Raúl Blanco, offered Nacho Hernando the possibility of meeting and meeting next week to study and determine what the needs were They presented themselves on the railway line.
It has had to be the rise in the tuning fork of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha that has caused someone to come out to answer and respond to the continuous complaints raised by users. Until now, administrative silence was the only response given.
The truth is that the Spanish High Speed had been an example of efficiency and punctuality since it began its journey in 1992, with the Ave between Madrid and Seville. However, for some time now, mainly due to the lack of maintenance investments, that efficiency has been replaced by a series of incidents that have exasperated users and the Government of Castilla-La Mancha itself.
In fact, two platforms of users affected by all these issues have been formed, both in Toledo and in Ciudad Real. Since maintenance is the direct responsibility of the Ministry of Public Works and the General State Administration, the Board could do little more in this regard, except to demand accountability.
This is what happened yesterday in Toledo, after that new setback that occurred early on Friday morning. Nacho Hernando, Minister of Development, who already dealt in his time as spokesman, with other confrontations with the central government in the hands of PSOE and Podemos, once again knocked on an executive from his own party.
We will see if next week there is any progress in solving the problems and if that meeting between the president of Renfe and the Minister of Public Works takes place. Because users have already started to lose patience.
