The train driver claimed, under shock, to be doing 190Km/h in a 80km/h bend. The automatic breaks, which only trigger at discrete points, didn't kick in, and that part of the line, in spite of being part of a high speed line, is not covered by ERTMS [1]. It seems that a fortune was spent on advanced trains, which get votes, but perhaps not on safety, which save lives.
