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

Now this is a strange coincidence, if coincidence at all.

Standing by; three times is enemy action

This is third time. Two months ago a railway was sabotaged on the other side of the EU: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gknv8nxlzo

Another train derailed due to the storm between Blanes and Macanet with no one injured.

sabotage

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


We are under a red alert due to crazy storms.

Or recency bias.

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)
