The start of the Ave service between Madrid and Seville opened up a new epoch for the railway in Spain. This milestone was a turning point in the process of change for trains, which have re-emerged with force and with a focus on innovation.
The Madrid-Barcelona, Madrid-Malaga and Madrid-Valladolid lines allowed Renfe to carry on introducing new Ave trains and expand the scope of this service, which is linked to specific quality and comfort standards. Travel times were cut, for example the Madrid-Barcelona route was reduced to 2 hours and 30 minutes, similar to the duration of the Madrid-Malaga and Madrid-Seville journeys, while the train journey between Madrid and Valladolid takes one hour to complete.
The main features of the service are punctuality and the commitments that the company takes on for its customers.
