Ouigo will begin a sale for its high-speed train that will connect Madrid with Alicante and Valencia with prices starting from €9.
The sale will start from June 30 and dates for the rest of operations in the region are expected to be announced on the same day.
According to sources from the railway sector, Ouigo’s train between Madrid and Valencia and Alicante is expected to start operating after the summer, although the company could operate earlier if the conditions are right.
Currently, Ouigo trains only operate from Madrid-Chamartín station to the Valencian Community and not from the Atocha station due to the tunnel linking Chamartín station with Atocha being under construction.
“We are looking forward to arriving and being able to offer all the benefits that modern travel brings with it. These benefits are already being seen in the corridor between Madrid and Barcelona, with average 50 per cent lower ticket prices, new profiles such as families and young people on high-speed trains, a 75 per cent increase in passenger traffic and a greater decarbonisation of transport, among others,” the company said.
