Alicante Tram Transport

It is the origin of lines C1 and C3 of Cercanias/Murcia and stops midway between the RENFE lines L1 and L2. It belongs to Zone 6 Cercanias/Murcia.

History

The station itself was opened in 1858 as part of the company’s network of railways from Madrid to Saragossa, when the Madrid-Alicante was completed. In 1941 it joined the railway and continued until it was separated into ADIF and RENFE Operator. The station has undergone minor alterations, but the building and its location have not changed in 150 years.

TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante

TRAM–Metropolitano de Alicante is a trademark of the Generalitat Valenciana Ferrocarrils and consists of certain transportation services in the city of Alicante and nearby towns.

TRAM services combine both TRAM routes on the surface and by rail, including the light-rail (both surface and underground) in the urban core and suburban services (both are diesel trains, with speeds up to 100 km/h), to nearby towns in the metropolitan area and beyond.

Line 1 is a railway linking Alicante and Benidorm and Denia in the future with the passing Altet airport in Alicante through a tunnel with adapted electricity. There are platforms and the Alicante-Benidorm line has created different services and branches of transport routes using the railways to shorten travel time.

They are integrated as trams throughout the town, with various online services created on the Alicante–Benidorm line in order to serve the suburban stop, with the future 3 and 5 Lines.
