High Speed Rail in Spain - a statement from a foreign expert

3.10 Developing of a regular service concept for the AVE traffic in Spain

A strict regular service concept shall be developed for the AVE traffic. The backbone for this
concept shall be a half-hourly concept of express AVE-trains between Barcelona and Sevilla
only calling at Madrid P.d.A. and Córdoba on their running. The nonstop travel time Barcelona
- Madrid P.d.A. can be assumed to an amount of 142 min. This amount is in line with the data in
table 1. The timetables for a strict regular service presented in the following statement are
developed in a continous feedback with the available number of EMU’s capable of running
300 km/h.
