Am I right in thinking that in the UK the TVM system steps the train's speed down ready to join the classic lines with the signalling boundary being at or near the actual junction. Looking at the Driver's Eye View posted earlier in the thread there seems to be an electrical changeover (25kV > 3kV?) a couple of tunnels before the curve. At this point conventional signals and speed signs appear. Is it possible that the trains hand over from ETCS to Classic Signalling while still at speed? It seems the train in the video started braking after the changeover...

There are cameras all along the line, if the line perimiter is breached then the signallers can see instantly if it's people, animals, debris etc. I'm assuming footage is recorded in the local signalbox and 'leaked' to the media without Renfe's permission in the same way that alleged radio transmission did
Are the lineside cameras webcams or is it purely a cctv system for the train company and signallers, if so, could say, an enthusiast or someone else watching have been been the source of the leak of the video?
