Spain's July 15 rail strike will cancel 328 trains, including high-speed and medium-distance services. Passengers can alter or cancel tickets without fees due to the disruption.

The Xi’an–Shiyan high-speed railway opened on June 30, 2026, covering 257 km through the Qinling Mountains at speeds up to 350 km/h. Travel time between Xi’an and Shiyan has been cut from over six hours to about one hour.

East Midlands Railway cancelled multiple services from July 8, 2026, due to heat-related track and train issues. Rolling stock shortages and a recent fatal collision have worsened service reliability.
