Is that an inherent problem of trains or are the trains too old? Genuinely asking

We don't have such problems in Austria. We also don't have 40 degrees but I dare say it's not inherent of trains.

Many issues are inherent of trains. It's easier to move people to another bus or tow a car. When trains failed in Spain last year on some occasions people got stack in totally inaccessible places and had to wait all night sitting next to the tracks (it was to hot to stay inside the trains without AC). You can't pull up another train easily or walk people to a bus. Towing the trains was complicated for some reasons. And that were brand new trains failing because of some manufacturing issues.

International trains from Poland have issues with AC because when they are in Germany, German technicians can't/don't want to fix them. Mixing operators like that is also an issue inherent to trains. You have different companies responsible for operating the train, the tracks and providing services inside the train. Planes are similar but international services are common and better organized.

Many recent issues in Spain were due to people stealing electric cables. Another problem inherent of trains. You have thousands of kilometers of infrastructure that is difficult to secure but an issue in single place quickly spreads throughout the network.
