Do you not have mandatory gates every x km in Spain? We have plenty of sound barrier fencing, and all of them have gates a short distance apart exactly for safety reasons.

WTF are you talking about? This is what high speed railway looks like:

Do you see any sidewalks? Why de fuck would they put gates there? People are not supposed to walk there. Ever. There are trains there going over 300 km/h. You don't let hundreds of people leave a walk around. You clearly have no idea what are we talking about here. You only know soviet union era trains and service. What you suggest is like letting people leave a plane and walk along the tarmac.

What are you actually wanting here? “They won’t let us off the train, we’re cooking in here” and then “Oh they let you off the train, what an awful experience”?

What I want is to get from point A to point B safely. Sitting in a hot train is not safe. Walking through a forest will be impossible for the elderly, disabled, people with babies or lots of luggage. Do you just leave those people behind? Trains in Spain don't carry crew that's supposed to take care of hundredths of people and lead them to safety on foot. I know that in a 3rd world countries people are used to fighting for survival and won't mind hiking through a forest with their suitcases. We don't do that in civilized countries. When trains break down here you have to make difficult choices while trying to keep everyone safe and the situation will suck for a lot of people.
