A Coruña Begins Phased Rail Disruption for Final Testing of New Intermodal Station

This step lets ADIF complete commissioning of new tracks and platforms while Renfe runs replacement buses and restricts access around the provisional terminal.

Overview

  • The partial disruption began Friday, June 5, and the first day of road transfers ran with few incidents and only minor delays at the provisional terminal.
  • Between June 5 and June 25 Renfe will use replacement buses for services between A Coruña and Santiago and between A Coruña and Betanzos-Infesta covering Regional, Media Distancia, Avant and some long-distance services.
  • A full suspension of rail traffic is scheduled from June 26 to July 10 so ADIF can finish the new track layout and platforms and commission the renovated intermodal station.
  • Operational exceptions tied to rolling-stock rotations mean the MadridA Coruña service on June 25 will run by road between Santiago and A Coruña and early services on July 11 may still be modified.
  • ADIF has reconfigured the provisional terminal with reserved bus zones, new signage, a closed pedestrian footbridge, removed short-term parking replaced by disabled spaces, and security controls, and the project is part of an €86.7 million ADIF Alta Velocidad investment in the station.
