SFM brings together railway operation experts from across Spain for a working conference

The event began with a technical visit to key SFM facilities, such as the Centralised Traffic Control (CTC) centre located at the Intermodal Station and the new ParcBit metro station.

Throughout the sessions, participants focus on two main areas: operational safety and service planning and scheduling. Discussions also include lessons learned from extreme weather or technological incidents and the implementation of the “just culture” approach in railway safety — a philosophy that promotes learning and improvement through the analysis of errors and incidents.

SFM hosted the very first meeting of this kind back in March 2017. Since then, the company has taken part in every biannual edition, strengthening its commitment to collaboration and continuous enhancement of Spain’s railway operations.
