A fire disabled the signalling equipment at Antequera Santa Ana
Málaga
The high speed rail service between Malaga and Madrid resumed at around 9.30am on Thursday after being closed for three hours due to a ... fault on the line. All three operators (Renfe, Ouigo and Iryo) cancelled all early morning trains due to a problem at Antequera Santa Ana.
Adif, Spain's railway infrastructure manager, reported a fault affecting the signalling systems at Antequera Santa Ana, bringing high-speed rail traffic between Malaga, Cordoba and Madrid to a standstill.
The disruption also has had an impact on the services between Granada, Antequera and Madrid, as well as the regional services between Seville and Malaga and Seville and Granada.
Technical sources provided further details, saying that a fire had damaged the electrical power supply to the station's interlocking system. These are the systems that control the points, allowing trains to be routed from one track to another. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
