Today’s power outage in Spain has also stopped all train traffic. Right after the blackout there were 116 stranded passenger trains with approximately 30 000 passengers on them.
At 18:30 CET 26 trains were yet to be evacuated, mostly on the high-speed corridors far from cities. There are videos circulating online of locals cutting the fence to the railway in order to be able to bring water and food to the stranded passengers
Train traffic in Portugal was not affected as much as there was already a strike planned for today

**Update:** At ~22:00 CET there were 11 trains yet to be evacuated
With airports also affected, Ryanair are being forced to divert flights to airports 150km closer to Barcelona and Madrid than normal. So this is very very serious.
The power outage in Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, was caused by an unexplained failure in the Iberian Peninsula’s electrical grid, with authorities noting no evidence of cyberattack, and efforts to restore power could take several hours to days. This incident disrupted transportation, communication, and essential services across major cities, highlighting vulnerabilities in regional infrastructure.

Oh there are Frecciarossa in Spain too
The food in fridge will begin to become bad
And here I was buying Madrid metro ticket as it happened, now I fell luckily I didn’t get stuck underground.
Venus light ignited the swamp gas and because of temperature fluctuations the grid collapsed.
Damn, I can only imagine the economy losses.
A full grid collapse is really bad, as you need electricity to start to big poweplants. Normally countries jabe big ship engines and jet engines coupleled to dynamos to start up again. But you can never fully know what broke in infrastructure till you start the gid up again.
They don’t look like they’re going high speed.
Weird question, but does Spanish Railways have diesel locomotives?
