Heavy rain disrupts high-speed rail travel in Spain

Terra Daily via Agence France-Presse: Train travel on a high-speed rail link between Madrid and Seville in the south was disrupted Tuesday due to heavy rains in central Spain, national railway infrastructure company ADIF said.

The rain swept debris along a two-kilometre-long (1.2-mile-long) stretch of the rail link -- which also services tourist centres like Cordoba and Malaga on the coast -- forcing its closure on Monday night, it said in a statement.
