The high speed line Ourense-Santiago de Compostela-A Coruña, in commercial service since December 11th, is part of the future high speed line that will link Madrid with Galicia.
The section between Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña has been refurbished to be adapted for high speed. This corridor will allow also the link with the Atlantic Axis connecting with other main Galician cities and Portugal.
The placement into service of the Ourense-Santiago de Compostela line adds advantages as the reduction on the distance between both cities in almost 40 kilometers, from 126 to 87,5km. and in the travelling time between Ourense and Santiago de Compostela that will be reduced by almost one hour from 90 to 38 minutes.
Jesús Sánchez Bargos, CEO of Thales in Spain affirms:"with this new line Spain is the leader in Europe in high speed network length, a milestone in the history of modern railways, that reaffirm the Spanish technology potential and of all the companies involved in its development."
