I may have missed it in UK news, but I never came across this video of it, except here:

The driver of the train has been formally detained. The police chief in the Galicia region, Jaime Iglesias, said that driver Francisco Jose Garzon Amo would be questioned "as a suspect for a crime linked to the cause of the accident".
The president of railway firm Renfe, Julio Gomez Pomar, was quoted as saying the 52-year-old driver had 30 years of experience with the company and had been operating trains on the line for more than a year. He said the train which derailed had no technical problems.
No technical problems? How can anyone say that at this stage? Looks very much like a hurried effort to shift the blame and find an easy scapegoat: the driver with thirty years’ experience..!!
