Spain's rail head resigns over bungled train orders resulting in trains too wide for tunnels
Renfe in June 2020 ordered 31 commuter trains worth 258 million euros (AU$402 million) from Spanish firm CAF for the mountainous northern regions of Asturias and Cantabria.
But in March 2021, CAF realised the dimensions it was provided for the trains were not correct and stopped building the trains, which would have been too wide for some tunnels.

Isaias Taboas, who has headed Renfe since June 2018, submitted his resignation on Monday.

Yikes, he’ll never live that one down. I thought it was bad when an accountant ordered software for all the computers in the offices of the physical plant and it cost several thousand dollars and it wasn’t compatible with the system they were using. There was no way she could return it after finding this out. She was the type that thought she could never do any wrong and caused our department to cut a lot of jobs etc due to pinching pennies on every little thing.
