Leaked audio from Spain appears to capture communications in which a train was given permission to move despite another train having stalled on the track, according to recordings examined in connection with the crash.
The recordings feature exchanges between a railway control centre and train drivers. In the communications, one train appears to receive clearance to continue its journey while the presence of another train stopped on the line was an issue.
The material has drawn attention to the sequence of events before the crash, particularly the information available to railway controllers and drivers at the time. However, the recordings alone do not establish the full cause of the incident or determine responsibility.
The audio is described as leaked, and the supplied material does not provide further details about when or where in Spain the crash occurred, the trains involved, or any official findings. The latest information available from the recordings is limited to the apparent exchange over permission to proceed while another train remained stalled on the track.
