12:35The official convoy arrives; Felipe and Letizia greet authorities before entering the emergency department.
14:52The reporter says at least 20 passengers remain hospitalized, including 15 in intensive care.
17:56The reporter says there is no official confirmation that the royal couple will make a statement.
52:45Security organizes the press area, followed by preparations to record possible remarks from the king.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia arrive to applause outside Toledo University Hospital, where passengers injured in Spain's train collision are being treated. They step out of an official vehicle, greet regional authorities and enter the emergency department with their entourage.

The live broadcast from Spain's newspaper EL PAÍS shifts attention from the wreckage near Urda to the hospital caring for survivors. Reporting outside the entrance, a journalist says at least 20 passengers remain admitted there, with 15 in intensive care. Those figures concern this hospital, not the total number injured in the collision.

Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla-La Mancha, is among the officials who welcome the royal couple. Ambulances, emergency workers, police and a large press contingent fill the area outside the building.

The arrival comes a little over 12 minutes into the recording. Much of the broadcast before and afterward shows the prolonged wait outside the emergency department, rather than the visit inside: camera crews arrange their positions, staff distribute water and sandwiches, and security personnel organize the press area.

Toward the end of the first hour, reporters prepare microphones and shared audio equipment for possible remarks from the king. Earlier, the reporter explicitly says there is no official confirmation that the couple will speak. The footage described here contains no royal statement or scenes of their meetings with patients.
