teh overall data... brilliant.
teh description of spain network brilliant....
Notice that in Spain there is no TGV following teh coast from barcelona to valencia.. there a 200 km/h train will be all...
the delays in PSpain will be hueg... I doubt the AVe will eb ready in border by 2010 as the officials say.
well.. ina ny case... great . great.
Europe is getting ready for fast travel without planes and one day without cars if encessary.
the problem in Spain is that there are no conventional lines for transport of goods.. adn no right-wing nor left-wing is doing anything to solve it.

At the level of plans, that should improve: a full high-speed line from Valencia to Castellón shall be part of the Levante network, and the two major bypasses further North (Benicassim-Oropresa, and the AFAIK still not in service Vandellos 1+2+the entry to Tarragona) could be up-rated for 250 or 300 km/h after re-gauging. But with delays, delays, maybe in 2020... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Ina n case a network of 200km/h trains in network is highly probable int he next 15 years... enough to dispalce the car if necessary.
Plans for lines for long and heavy "mercaderias"... never heard of that.. only today after 10 years they opened a train line to bring the cars foromt he Seat factory in barceloan to the docks int he port.. (less than 50 km).. until now hundreds of truckes delievered the cars to the ports... so if this basic line took so mcuh being so profitable adn necessary.. imagient he rest.
It is really ashaming.

I would say that it is not Barceloan city, it is already outside.. probably Bellvitge... though a full AVE can not take that far...maybe it is an S!"0 for Altaria travels, it can certainly be El Prat del Llobregat getting close to Bellvitge.
That would be my bet :)
Well.. I just got the point exactly...it was this or either a little to the south when it is clsoer to El Parat del Llobreagat.. it little bit to the south in your map.
