1. The stations analysed within the high speed network

1.1 Introduction

With the objective of deepening aspects related to intermodality in different typologies of
High Speed stations, where basically one can find a nearby bus station, but also to know how
is affected intermodality by the typology of services offered or the size of Cities or even by its
location within the city, a study has recently been launched in Adif Alta Velocidad in order to
show some conclusions on this important issue in today’s large transport nodes

1.2 Railway services of the study stations

The majority of the stations in the study move around 900 trains per week, with maximums of
almost 1,700 in Madrid-Puerta de Atocha and minimum values in Orense (300) and Jerez (200).
The following table shows the main characteristics of railway operation for the period 2014
-2015.
