The rail highway service between Valencia and Madrid was officially extended to Entroncamento, Portugal. Trains will be running twice a week for the initiative led by Medway, Trans Italia and Tramesa.
The Spanish infrastructure manager Adif ran tests along this route up until last November, and now everyone is ready to make it a regular service. The route will still go through the Abronigal terminal in Madrid and then cross the border near Badajoz, where Medway manages a terminal.
The Valencia-Madrid rail highway service was launched in July 2024 with four weekly trips currently operated. The extension to Portugal is also justified by Medway’s presence near the border between the two countries. MSC’s subsidiary is working on three terminals in the area: Entroncamento, Badajoz and Navalmoral de la Mata, which should open this year.
