Renfe to Reshuffle Galicia Trains From April 7 During Miño Corridor Works

The plan keeps routes running by centering long‑distance trips at Vigo Urzaiz with buses covering the short Vigo stretch.

Overview

  • Renfe, which starts a timetable shake‑up on Monday, will run buses between Guillarei and Vigo‑Guixar while works close the RedondelaGuillarei track.
  • The long‑distance Alvia linking Galicia and Catalonia will start and end at Vigo Urzaiz, run daily via Santiago, and add stops at Vilagarcía and Pontevedra, with A Coruña travelers connecting in Santiago.
  • Regional service between Vigo and Ponferrada gains a second daily round trip to bolster links while construction disrupts normal routes.
  • Faro de Vigo reports the Vigo–Porto Tren Celta will use electric trains only up to the border because Spain and Portugal power lines use different voltages, a shift unions say would cut work for Spanish crews and still awaits final sign‑off by both operators.
  • In A Coruña, a planned station shutdown on Saturday paused 27 trains until about 2 p.m., with buses and taxis standing in, and ADIF said the contingency ran without incidents as staff guided some surprised passengers to alternatives.
