Spain's railway maintenance backlog hits 3.6 billion euros
Original: mantenimiento
Spain's government has accumulated a 3.6 billion euro investment deficit in railway maintenance, according to ABC, despite the country going through a period of record tax revenues. The report argues that underfunding of the rail network is leaving tracks and infrastructure in poor condition, and it criticises the transport ministry for prioritising other spending over the upkeep of the system.
Why now: Renewed criticism of underfunded rail upkeep during record revenue years puts pressure on the Spanish government.
