RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted February 19, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2023 There is a report in this weekends Costa Blanca news that the line in Benidorm is now complete. Work continues on the underpass, but the track above are now open. In theory that means a seamless journey from Alicante. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine a man with two table tennis bats waving them randomly at train and site workers will suffice! Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case Mike, we need a video 😎 The newspaper article says that the work took 10 months instead of 14.... in Spain? Really? 🤣 Oh! I should add that the Infrastructure company is committed to removing all level crossings... Presumably then at some date ion the future the pedestrian crossing will be replaced.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted February 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2023 Oh yes, a video is a must! Something getting completed in Spain 4 months ahead of schedule, I am as incredulous as you, depends what they are classing as "the work", technically it's already over run, and started late to boot.

Completed a couple of months early too! Through trains I believe now the Gata de Gorgos bit has been sorted out. Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bridge is still due to be replaced, but they only went out to tender a few months ago. 3 hours ago, Enterprisingwestern said: Interest piqued.

Rob K Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hi there. i have not been to Spain ( or on this site) for a while.... been moving house . My brother is out there now and at my prompting he did Benidorm to Denia the other day. He said the change of trains is now at Calpe and that there seemed to be a short stub if track leading away from Calpe station. I can't quite picture this from my last travels... can any of you cast any light for me ) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
