ADIF AV has launched an ambitious macro-project to reform rail connectivity in Madrid and transform both stations “Puerta de Atocha” and “Chamartín”, two of the largest stations in Spain.

With the new concept of  “single station with two terminals”, ADIF will link the two stations by a new 7.3 km-long high-speed tunnel, currently under construction, that will run alongside the existing conventional tunnel for commuter services.

The tunnel will allow for high-speed trains to run between both terminals, uniting at the same time the North and Northwest HS corridors.

It is expected that the rail traffic in Chamartín will increase by 40% both in commuter lines and high speed, adding up to more than 40 million passengers in 2040.
