For their part, the two trains that stop in Alicante will take about the journey 3 hours and 30 minutes. In addition, the departure time of the trains is at 11:50 a.m. the first of the day and the second at 1:55 p.m. The four trains are going to stop in Orihuela and Elche, When they reach Monforte del Cid, the indirect ones continue in the direction of Alicante.
On the same day, December 19, the new convoys connecting Murcia with Alicante, which receive the name AVANT, will be put into circulation, thus shortening the journey to about half an hour.
For its part, the works council shows its discontent since it considers that after waiting so long It is nonsense that there are only two daily trains from Murcia to Madrid. In addition, the Minister of Development, José Ramón Díez de Revenga also demands more frequency of AVE in the region since he ensures that more than six journeys a day would be necessary.
