| The reopening of this railway branch and the Murcia-Almer�a-Granada section in the Mediterranean Corridor, keys to a more efficient, equitable and profitable | At a time when proposals are coming out �to redound in the centralist and radial system in the railway infrastructures, such is the case of joining the port of Algeciras directly with Madrid and leaving aside the peninsular southeast, the Asociaciï¿ ½n Friends of the Comarca de Baza Railroad and the Comarca de Guadix Platform for the Train value the reopening of the Lorca Almanzora Baza Guadix railway line (also the enhancement of the Murcia-Almer�a-Granada section within the Mediterranean Railway Corridor) as viable alternatives, profitable at a socio-economic level and very necessary in the face of a centralism that has amply demonstrated its ineffectiveness.It is not possible to fall into the same error that eliminated thousands of kilometers of railway lines in rural areas (such as Guadix-Baza-Almendricos) at the end of 1984 to promote a centralized radial network ineffective, which contributed to the "emptying" at all levels of the territories far from the big capitals, but also to the gradual precariousness of the railway service at the state level. Friends of the Comarca de Baza and Comarca de Guadix for the Train Railroad demand that the Government of Spain fulfill its commitments both with the Informative Study of reopening and with the railway actions in this area.

They wield the different technical reports that certify that recovering the connection by train through the regions of Granada and Almería to the Levant is efficient and profitable, since it saves time and costs, in addition to the social benefit for a very needy area.

They also rely on the explicit support they have from professional and business groups that promote the Mediterranean Railway Corridor.

The European consortium FERRMED, the promoter of the Trans-European Transport Network, is a firm defender of this railway connection.At the conference held two years ago at the Chamber of Commerce of Almer�a to promote the Southern Sector of the Mediterranean Corridor, in which the Association of Friends of the Comarca de Baza Railroad was invited, expressly asked political and social representatives to carry out this railway branch with mixed freight / passenger traffic as a priority.
