Incredibly based.
It helps that Spain has world-class trains and are continuously investing in expanding the network.
I'm so jealous. I wish the complete shitstain right-wingers that cancelled train investment in my country were fired. (out of a cannon into the sun)

As Spaniard I wouldn't go that far.. but yeah they are good. But not all of them 😅 specially the shorter routes. Apart from some maintenance issues, It doesn't help that from time to time a line is down because they have stolen copper wires...
One tragic fact of life is that it doesn't really take that much to become world-class as far as trains go. The HSR network alone basically places you on the podium.
To be fair (and Im from a family of train workers, did my master thesis there), there is a lot of mismanagement and politics, lack of investment and stuff, which decrease the quality of train services. But there's also part of the problems who are inherent to the fact of moving steel boxes safely on thousands of km, without endangering the workers either.
Depends on the age of your tracks, if you have old Victorian bridges etc or aging signal systems it can be very hard indeed.
(London btw)
I was once running to the station in sevilla to get my train. I arrived 40 minutes late. The train departed right after I boarded.
Much love to the renfe, they waited for me :3
Why bother wasting the resources to send em to space, when a bullet suffices.
I read about world-class and then 40 minutes late...
Delay is most of the time due to congestion. Expanding the network is the way to reduce that.
Their trains are great, but the system is confusing AF.
