Óscar Puente confirms that the Madrid-Valencia high-speed line will resume from Thursday November 14

Thus, Puente confirmed in a post on the social network They are already history.

It should be remembered that high speed is the one that has been least affected “due to its higher position” in relation to Cercanías, according to Adif sources. However, the track and the platform were damaged at two points.

The first, the Chiva tunnel, was the most affected because the waters washed away a large part of the 1.2 km of infrastructure. The other point, the Torrent tunnel, for almost 3 km, was completely flooded. It took Adif five days to get rid of all the water inside.

During this period of service suspension, the impact on railway companies has been high. Ouigo has canceled all its services on this line until Wednesday November 13. In total, the number of users affected since Tuesday October 29 amounts to 43,000 travelers and 154 trains have been canceled, company sources indicate to EL ESPAÑOL-Invertia.

According to Renfe, the estimated impact for these 15 days is 435 cancellations. The number of daily high-speed connections between Madrid and Valencia is 29. Iryo, for its part, did not provide data.

In addition to broadband, the Euromed/Intercity Valencia-Barcelona-Valencia services and the Freight service are already operational. Likewise, the Cercanías C5 and C6 lines are also operational and the C1 is expected to open this week. The worst was C3, which is almost completely destroyed.
