Spain spends £230MILLION on new trains... only to find they're too big to fit through tunnels

The blunder has led to two travel bosses being sacked

I'm pretty sure the engineer that operates the trains said, this thing will never fit through the tunnels we travel. That is when the bright red lights started blinking in the heads of the ones that made that fck up, OOOPs!!!

That's not just a mistake, that is a total Fck up that nobody never ask, will they clear the tunnels that is on the routes that it will be traveling. That would be like throwing a beach ball out on the basketball court without checking to see if it would go through the hoops.

But I would go out on the limb to say that I bet that fck up will never be made again, ever!!!
