Transport Minister Oscar Puente announced a new high-speed train station in Parla that will allow traffic through Madrid to be avoided when connecting Andalusia with Catalonia. The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez Almeida, responded to this announcement and demanded that Puente “before talking about the new stations, finish the highway in Barajas, which is important for the city.” In addition, he jokes about the relationship the future station will have with Madrid: “How will we move towards the city, in Cercanias? We will leave Malaga to reach Malagon.”“, says the advisor.
The Minister announced in the same year that in 2026 Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport would join the high-speed network through the connection between Chamartín Station and Terminal 4 of the airport. This is what Martinez Almeida should come to, in his opinion. “All cities within a 200 km radius of the city will benefit greatly from AVE because it means it Anyone will be at an international airport within an hour and a half “With contacts with almost the whole world,” insists the first mayor of Madrid.
For the leader of the Madrid City Council, this AVE station in Barajas is a competitive advantage not only for the capital, but also for all the surrounding municipalities. “When we talk about the Empty Sword, we’re talking about him Spain which needs investments, job creation and installation of industries. What better advantage to these investment decisions than knowing that if you live 200-300 kilometers from Madrid, in just an hour and a half you will be at an international airport?
Puente announced on Monday that the new station is in Parla, Madrid It will allow passengers not to have to get off the train on their way between Andalusia and Barcelona The border is Madrid. The project is part of plans to renew the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed line, which will allow trains to operate at a speed of 350 km/h and the journey can be completed in “less than two hours.” The future station will be different from the new Cercanías station – Parla Norte – that is about to be opened, because in addition to not having to enter Madrid, it will also mean a connection “in the Madrid area” of the Madrid – Levante line “in case of possible accidents at the stations or in the standard gauge tunnel”. Martínez-Almeida questioned the operation of the Cercanías service and demanded improved communications through this service between Parla and Madrid before considering the new AVE station.
