| Summary: | Spain is a country with a large network of high-speed rail (HSR or AVE by its initials in Spanish). The most of this railway network was built between 2000 and 2007. Network deployment involves addressing many issues, particularly station localization. Traditional railway network in Spain has a different track gauge to that in the rest of Europe. So historical stations do not always serve to high-speed network. In 2000, a first proposal for the railway network of Valencia is published. Our research team realized two studies about metropolitan railway network and better station localization in 2002 and 2006. Particularly these studies propose an intermodal station in airport to integration travel flights and travel high-speed train. Between 2008 and 2010 was built a new provisional station to high-speed rail in Valencia: Joaquín Sorolla Station. This paper analyse the initial proposal, actual situation and trends after 2006 on airport-rail station relations in other cities as Madrid or Barcelona. |
