Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente announced on the 3rd that the government will provide 30 million euros in aid to the victims and families of the high-speed train accident that occurred in the Castilla-La Mancha Autonomous Region on October 28, and take measures to strengthen railway safety. Puente also announced that in response to this accident, the government will double the passenger compulsory insurance compensation amount and pay compensation in advance. Puente said that the government will take a series of measures to strengthen high-speed rail operation and management, including reducing the number of high-speed trains between Madrid and Seville until the new safety system is put into use. A cross-verification system is introduced in railway dispatch management. When traffic routes are congested and automatic control systems are lacking, every decision of the control center will be monitored and verified by another dispatcher. Puente said that the Spanish Railway Infrastructure Authority will improve the working conditions of dispatchers, increase the number of control center employees, and install new software for the control center so that dispatchers can more clearly understand the train's location and track conditions.
