Madrid-Badajoz: un endiablado viaje para superar al tren rápido que circula a 89 km/h

#train #extremadura #badajoz The promise of a Madrid-Lisbon high-speed train with a stop in Extremadura began to take shape at the end of the 20th century. In June 1999, then-Vice President Rodrigo Rato announced that “trains of 250 kilometers per hour will pass through the region.” Since then, every Prime Minister (Aznar, Zapatero, Rajoy, Sánchez) and all their Ministers of Public Works (Álvarez-Cascos, Magdalena Álvarez, Pepe Blanco, Ana Pastor, Soria, De la Serna, Ábalos) have publicly inspired the people of Extremadura with hope for an AVE (High Speed ​​Train). Two decades later, and after an investment of more than €3.7 billion, the new Madrid-Badajoz line was finally inaugurated this month with great fanfare and the presence of King Felipe VI on the inaugural train. However, the terminology in the ad reveals a problem. The train's sustainability and its unquestionable ability to connect people are emphasized, but speed is relegated to a secondary role.
