Talk:Transcantábrico

Itinerary
The Transcantábrico train never arrived at Santiago de Compostela, because the metre-gauge railway line ends at Ferrol. The connecting railway lines from Ferrol to Betanzos, Betanzos to A Coruña, and A Coruña to Santiago de Compostela are all broad gauge (1668 mm). The passengers of the Transcantábrico service are transported to Santiago de Compostela on the road. - The Transcantábrico train also cannot reach León any more, because the track section between the terminus León-Matallana and the station Asunción/Universidad (distance 2 km) was closed in September 2011 with the purpose to convert it into a tram-train (which has not been opened yet, by June 2018). The Transcantábrico train now ends at San Feliz de Torío, at a distance of 10 km from León, because the platform at Asunción/Universidad station is only 70 metres short.
