The president of the Board, Alfonso Fernández Mañuecohe was greatly angry yesterday with the mayor of Vigo, the socialist Abel Caballerodue to the request he made to the president of Renfe, Álvaro Fernández Heredia, so that Paradas del Ave in Castilla y León are suppressed within the line that joins Madrid with the Galician city. As “intolerable”, Mañueco described this request, while demanding the first Vigo mayor to “rectify” his words to “defend his city without attacking a neighboring and sister community.”
During the meeting he held in Madrid with the head of Renfe, Caballero made several proposals to “shorten” the duration of the journey between the olivic city and the capital of Spain, a claim that, he said, was “well received” since Fernández Heredia was “very receptive.” «The current travel time on one of the tours is very elongated by an excessive number of stops in the Castilla and Leó areaN, area already close to Madrid that has a very important coverage of trains that come from all over the north and the rest of Galicia on high -speed paths, ”said Caballero. Therefore, he insisted that “some of those stops could be suppressed” and that would mean reducing the time between Vigo and Madrid, so that they were located at a new meeting within a month to study “new times” on this route.
The demonstrations of the mayor of Vigo fell like a jug of cold water in the presidency of the Junta de Castilla y León, to the point that Mañueco called them “authentic improper barbarity of a mayor who has also been president of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.” Faced with this, he announced that he will defend the community and will not allow “no rail service” to be supplied in Castilla y León, he said in statements collected by Ical.
The president of the Board also demanded from the president of RENFE to report “urgently” about the content of the meeting, by pointing to Knight that his proposal to suppress AVE stops in Castilla y León has been “well received” from the railway company. “It is outrageous that neither Renfe nor the Ministry of Transportation has immediately ruled out, this proposal that would harm Castilla y León,” said Mañueco, which was erected as “the voice of all Castilians and Leon” against “indigenous requests and amazing silences” of those who accused Abel Caballero and the main responsible for Renfe.
In any case, the company said yesterday that there are no news and the services and stops of high -speed trains in Castilla y León are maintained.
At present, the journey between Vigo and Madrid is around four hours in the best case, while in most options this strip exceeds. The Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, announced almost a year ago that in September 2024 the trip would last 3 hours and 35 minutes thanks to the new Avril trains. However, today the times continue well above that strip.
According to the Renfe website, there are four daily services that join Madrid with Vigo. The first, for Axis3 on a Thursday, is an Alvia that leaves at 06.15 hours and has a duration of 4 hours and 40 minutes, with stops – within Castilla y León – in Segovia, Medina del Campo, Zamora and Sanabria. At 11.35 a bird leaves, with a three -hour and 57 -minute journey, which stops only in Zamora, while an avlo, which takes four hours and 29 minutes and part at 17.08, has the same stops as the alvia. Then another bird starts, which takes 4.18 hours and collects or leaves travelers in Zamora and Sanabria. In the opposite direction the stops are similar.
