The train in Spain...
I've heard a lot about plans for better train services to Madrid's Barajas airport - but what is the status of these plans?
One plan is for a regional link - a fast service between Chamartin and Atocha, the main line stations in the city, and the airport. The existing metro line 12 is good and well connected, but the planned regional link (which I'm told is under construction) would serve a different market.
Another is for a high-speed connection using an eastern bypass to the city, the belt line. Under this, AVE trains between Barcelona and Madrid would serve the airport: they would run alternately Barcelona - Airport - Chamartin - Atocha and Barcelona - Atocha - Chamartin - Airport.
Information would be much appreciated.
