I wouldn't spread conspiracy theories without more information. It has rained really a lot and maintenance of railways are long overdue in Spain and especially Catalonia

Slovakia had 2 train crashes in 1 month (October 13 and November 9)

Poland had blown up rails on November 17

You call it a conspiracy, I call it a hybrid warfare

both crashes in Slovakia were caused by human error, lack of ETCS and decades old non-maintained infrastructure doesnt help as well (at least at one of the crashes)

We are under a red alert due to crazy storms.
