Either the inspection frequency should be increased or degradation should actually be acted upon.
Probably less of a money question and more of a management question tbph.

Was there no degradation detected?
That would be highly interesting.

>trusting railway workers to actually inspect the tracks rather than ticking "OK" on every item and spending their day at the pub.
On whom the shame when it happens for the bazillionth time?
If it was indeed a broken rail that caused it, well sucks to have to suffer in a country where axle counting is deemed an appropriate way to run railway signalling. Track circuits would have detected that broken rail and put the signals at danger to stop the train.

>ticking "OK" on every item
Why would anyone design a system so that is easily possible?
Whoever made the specifications for that should probably also be investigated.

Because that's how any test or inspection report works? You get a piece of paper or a digital equivalent with a list of things to check, the expected result, an OK / Not OK decision to make, maybe some room for additional comments and some place allocated to the identification and signature of the operator.
Sure people can "cheat" the reports and low IQ maintenance monkeys are very much prone to it if not properly supervised. I personally wouldn't though. I enjoy not living in a jail cell.

If only there was a way to detect defects before shit breaks...
And yeah, insulated rail joints are fantastic. Basically a perfect component that everyone loves.

It's a spanish "inspection". That was a soldered joint that was broken apart, I just read on skyscrapercity that radiographic inspection of soldered rails isn't compulsory around there, lol, lmao even, so the inspection was probably just of the track geometry.
Don't trust your life to people who live below the Pyrenees, and double check everything south of Switzerland.

Honestly, these small accidents have been happening since forever, it's just that we had the big one on Sunday so now any minor incident gets lots of attention. Last summer pretty much every day there was a train stuck in a tunnel or in the middle of nowhere because of a power outage. This country is a fucking disgrace and there's no saving it.

I subscribe to the WhatsApp channel for Rodalies and every day there’s delays for infrastructure problems, breakdowns, theft of copper wires, corpses being scrapes from the tracks…it’s just getting reported on now because it’s the current happening.

Your reductionist bullshit tells me enough, leftoid
No matter how hard you try to normalize the situation, you only tell on yourself
