They emphasize that the closure of the rail connection between Andalusia and Murcia was one of the biggest errors in infrastructure in the history of Spain, and that in the current context of the cruel COVID-19 pandemic,the conventional public social train is one of the best alternatives to face the crisis.
In addition, they reiterate that it is facing a historic opportunity due to the arrival of the European Union reconstruction funds linked to rail transport, and the progress of the works of the Mediterranean Corridor, where this branch will be an important part.
that for access to European financing it is only necessary for the Government to "paint on the map" this railway line.So that for access to European funding it is only necessary for the Government to "paint on the map" this railway line.So that for access to European funding it is only necessary for the Government to "paint on the map" this railway line.Friends of the Comarca de Baza and Comarca de Guadix Railroad for the Train reproach both the President of the Government and the Minister of Transport that in the draft General State Budgets for 2021 they have eliminated the current item since 2018 for the mandatory Informative Study of reopening, when his Government has explicitly committed itself in the last two years to increase its amount and to execute it "immediately".
Covered in the numerous technical and socio-economic reports sent to the competent authorities, they reaffirm that the return of the railway is viable, profitable in the medium term in its double freight / passenger aspect, economically affordable (less than half that of an AVE route) and very necessary to structure these regions of Emptied Spain.
Thus,Although it is not a direct competence of the Head of Government, they demand his intervention starting with the present budgetary process and continuing with the immediate bidding / awarding / execution of the aforementioned Informative Study.ASSOCIATION FRIENDS OF THE RAILWAY REGION OF BAZAREGION OF GUADIX BY TRAIN
