Renfe is not selling new high-speed tickets between Madrid and Andalusia until December following the Urda (Toledo) accident. It clarifies that this does not mean the line will be closed until that date.
The operator has stopped marketing new high-speed trips between Madrid and Andalusia until December, according to pozueloin.es, based on information gathered by the Europa Press agency. This measure adds to the consequences of the railway accident in Urda (Toledo) and affects planned travel for the coming weeks.
According to sources from the operator cited in the information, Renfe has set a period during which it will not sell tickets for the corridor affected by the incident. The company specifies that the sales block does not mean that trains will be halted until December.
The resumption of service depends on the reopening of the infrastructure, which is managed by Adif. If the line is operational again before December, Renfe will be able to resume its trains. Adif has not yet published a date to normalise traffic on the high-speed line between Madrid and Andalusia, which was interrupted after a collision between a Renfe AVE and an Iryo train.
The cut comes during the week of the All Saints' bridge. On October 26, Renfe had announced 107,083 seats and 307 high-speed and long-distance trains between Madrid and Andalusia for the period from October 30 to November 2, a schedule presented two days before the accident and with reinforcements towards Seville, Malaga, Cadiz, and Huelva. For its part, Ouigo has suspended its services between Madrid and Andalusia until Monday, November 2, inclusive.
Travellers with planned trips should check with their operator regarding the status of their bookings and available alternatives.
