Spain to ban drivers' mobile use

Spain is introducing a ban on train drivers using mobile phones after a train crash in Santiago de Compostela that killed 79 people in July.

The train's driver said at the time he was going too fast and had been on the phone to a colleague moments earlier.
Drivers will, however, be allowed to use mobile phones in emergencies.
