Theft and vandalism hinder certification of the Évora-Spain railway
Infraestruturas de Portugal is facing delays in the certification of the new railway line between Évora and the Spanish border due to ongoing thefts of equipment and vandalism, as well as a scarcity of independent certification entities. The government confirmed that while testing is underway, these factors have created constraints in the project's timeline, with intermediate verification declarations expected to be submitted to the National Railway Safety Authority by the end of September.
Why it matters
If you are following the development of new cross-border rail connections or planning travel between Évora and Spain, be aware that the project is facing delays due to infrastructure vandalism and certification hurdles, meaning it may not enter service as quickly as previously expected.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
