Re: Train development news
Well it should have been done some time ago (although they already had discounts when booking ahead) but the new lower rate scheme has been very popular in its initial launch. Just shows there is a demand for high speed rail travel at the right price. Fingers crossed that all the extra travellers will mean extra spending in local shops/restaurants/hostales etc. and get the economy moving again. :fingerscrossed:

Too bad for the towns that used to have a decent train service and are now left in the lurch as the hi-speed train whistles by them in the distance. Much better to have a system as in the UK where most cities and towns still have a regular service from the 125. Full trains, arses on seats, more income, better service for the population as a whole, not just the lucky few. |

I'm afraid the jealous foreigners are going to find it very hard making sense of their knee-jerk knocks on this line - it's expected to be a very profitable line. As for the station at Villena you mention, it's actually in place for the high speed link still being built from Valencia to Alicante, and connecting roads probably don't need to be in place until that link is completed. As you can tell from this map it makes a lot of sense. http://ep01.epimg.net/elpais/imagene...cia_normal.png |
