Córdoba, Spain: Railway Station






Córdoba Central was opened in 1994 replacing an older station. Córdoba is an important junction in the Spanish rail network, serving three AVE high-speed rail lines, connecting Madrid Atocha with Málaga, Seville and Granada; and conventional Iberian gauge lines hosting various Media and Larga Distancia services. Trains passing through Córdoba also connect to Cádiz, Barcelona Sants and Jaén.

Madrid, Spain: Chamartín Station





Madrid Chamartín is the name of the second major railway station of Madrid. Positioned on the north side of the city, it was built between 1970 and 1975, although subsequent work would be carried on into the early 1980s. At that time it superseded Atocha station, located closer to the city centre. After Atocha itself was rebuilt in 1992, Chamartin lost much of its importance, even though since 2004 it has undergone changes to accommodate the new high-speed line to León. It hosts the railway networks connecting Madrid and north-western Spain, the AVE (high speed line) from Madrid to Segovia, Valladolid and León and many Cercanías lines (commuter rail), plus the international line to Lisbon. There are also connections with Atocha. Under the railway station there is a Metro Station (Chamartin) linking with lines 1 and 10 of the Madrid Metro, also for travelling to Madrid city centre.

Segovia: Guiomar Station






Segovia-Guiomar is situated at the south of the town in the vicinity of the Hontoria Industrial Park, it has effectively replaced the old Estación de Segovia in the centre of the town, which now only serves as the terminus of the regional Line 53 from Madrid. As a stop of the high speed track from Madrid Chamartín to Valladolid Campo Grande, it is directly and indirectly connected to numerous destinations in northern and eastern Spain, such as Alicante, San Sebastián, Salamanca, Barcelona and even Dijon in France. For many of these routes, passengers may choose between the slightly faster and more frequently departing AVE trains and the more affordable Alvia and Avant services.
