The mayor of Vigo this Tuesday was very critical of the railway planning in the connections between the city and Madrid, which only offers a direct daily train and the rest of options for the traveler departing from Vigo They force us to get off in Santiago to catch another convoy to Chamartín.
“Instead of two daily frequencies (those existing before the Covid irruption), Renfe consolidates a single one,” said Caballero, who publicly conveyed his “Total disagreement” and reflected the demand on the rise of the city: “In Vigo we have to have at least three daily frequencies from Vigo to Madrid”.
“I am not willing in any way that the people of Vigo have to get off in Santiago, by no means “, the Vigo councilor said in statements to the media, who considered it” a humiliation “and also recalled that” the first city in Galicia does not have direct high-speed trains. ” For Caballero, the definitive solution will come with the Cerdedo variant, which will link Vigo and Pontevedra with Ourense and Madrid by AVE, but meanwhile the current model “is not worth us” and he insisted on claiming “three direct destinations to Madrid from Vigo shared with Pontevedra ”.
The mayor wondered that “if the AVE means that Vigo runs out of direct trains to Madrid, what is it for?” and concluded that “the Vigo demand to Renfe is very serious”: “Don’t try to play with this city.”
