Madrid Airport rail link

Spanish Minister of Development Ana Pastor has announced that a new and faster Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport rail line will open later in September, a month earlier than originally planned.

The trains will carry passengers from Atocha station in the city centre to the airport every 30mins with only one intermediate stop at Chamartin.

Atocha Station is the largest railway station in Madrid serving commuter, intercity, regional and AVE high speed trains from Barcelona, Zaragoza, Seville and Valencia.  The major work for this project was done at Atocha Station, mainly the installation of elevators allowing direct connection for air passengers to high speed trains.  www.aena.es/csee/satellite/aeropuerto-madrid-barajas/en
