few days ago (late 2010) we came across this article:
tender the construction project Development of High Speed \u200b\u200bLine between O Porrino and the Portuguese border
http://www .fomento.es/NR/rdonlyres/B6D789F7-C6B2-4BF3-BF07-9E2A901EB483/97748/10122401.pdf
"The Ministry of Development has tendered construction project drafting the platform of the stretch of the Atlantic Axis high speed between O Porrino and the Portuguese border. "
good riddance! DO NOT YOU?
"The section under the project belongs to the Atlantic Axis high speed, so that is included in the Strategic Transport Infrastructure (PEIT). It is part of priority project No 19 of the Trans-European Transport : high-speed rail interoperability on the Iberian Peninsula. Oporto-Vigo, cross-border section Ponte da Lima-Vigo. "
Yes, yes. PRIORITY SUPER is a stretch, so spent 10 years wandering in box drawer in the Ministry of Development.
"The new line will allow traffic exclusive of passenger trains.
Moreover, the current Iberian route should be kept in use for freight and regional traffic, so you must define all actions necessary to this end. "
As much as the new line is unique for passenger traffic, I guess some thinking head of the Ministry of Public Works is not happen to leave the current path halving ferra core Porriño no?. I suppose you have some kind of underground and railway integration, including commuter station Right? Because that is what is done in the rest of Spain.
"The main background of this project is" Information Study Project Atlantic Axis High-Speed. Tranche Portuguese Border - Porrino ", which is pending Environmental Impact Statement."
Ahhhh! Is that the study reported is not yet even approved .... Not by the time it carries with it (10 years) and the little money appropriated in the budget (remember that more than 11 million appropriated in the budget since 2008 will never wear).
By the way, great news of La Voz de Galicia ( http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/galicia/2010/12/24/00031293194896664423157.htm ). The fellow on duty merely to make a literal copy and paste the press release from the Ministry of Development.
But SO WHY IS THE LEFT HAND OF GOD THE CONNECTION VIGO-BORDER AVE PORTUGUESE?
Doing a bit of timing, say that during the two-part Xunta de Galicia (2005-2009) to Panfilo de Touriño or put her left folded or bent stick with this section. Delays, delays, excuses, but the study reported in the English part of the Porto-Vigo TGV was put in a drawer.
Then came the Galician PP (2009) and began to put a little cane (the cane which forgot it ruled between 2002 and 2005) regarding delays AVE Vigo-Portuguese Border:
Development steward makes the Xunta retardation Oporto AVE not to issue a report
http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/galicia/2009/11/27/0003_8134203.htm ran
November 2009 and had already produced numerous postponements of the probable date commissioning. Still, the Ministry of Development had to say in those days:
"In the case of section Vigo-O Porrino, Secretary of State notes that "the outright rejection of the municipalities to the designs' forced to hire an additional informative study to define a path of consensus."
Fuck. Her PSOE in power since 2004 and 2009 still had not reached a consensus pathway (by the way that today, 2011, still no trace in this part of the section). is to make infrastructure is so difficult ...
"Regarding Porriño-border section, Morlan said that when the study report came to public information in January this year, activated the usual procedure of asking the mandatory environmental reporting to the Regional Administration, "without which today's response has been received." "Damn
! The study reported Porriño-border public information came out in January 2009! As we are in February 2011 and still no Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Now that's support infrastructure EN GALICIA!
And that is despite the fact that " a study by the European Union in 2006 concluded that the Porto-Vigo TGV was socially and territorially the best of the 317 projects that Brussels has decided to support financially in Spain "and that" in 2005, Zapatero pledged to conclude the Galician section in 2009 "(see http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/galicia/2010/09/30/0003_8754280.htm ), as AVE-Frontera Vigo Portugal does not start or joke. GAFADOS LOS GALLEGOS ARE WE? Or rather, take us by the whistle of calm since the government of Spain?
First promised that he would be in service in 2009, then 2012, then in 2015 ... and now it is NEVER over.
It turns out that after these events the world aconómica crisis escalated further and Portugal decided to defer more (ring would I) the AVE Poro-Border that he would continue to Vigo:
parks the AVE Portugal to Galicia to use EU funds in the Lisbon-Madrid
http://www. lavozdegalicia.es/galicia/2010/09/30/0003_8754279.htm
We find ourselves back in September 2010. Portugal haunt markets and no risk of breaking our neighbors.
"Since the Ministry of Finance said the work of the Porto-Vigo TGV as a focus of future generation infrastructure deficit and unable to cover construction costs maintenance The Public Works Minister who take non overcame now reaches a standstill via on facts.
But The 'markets' stalked also Spain. The Ministry of Economic Development would undertaking a rough cut y. .. go! connection are also charged Vigo-Portuguese border in October 2010: Promoting
maintains that make no sense to Tui AVE if not continued in Portugal
http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/galicia/2010/10/06/0003_8766739.htm
"In any case, from José Blanco department notes that "no sense" to do at a time of crisis and budget cuts investment in the construction of the AVE between Vigo and Tui "if the work will not be continued across the border". "
Man, look a logical reasoning ... if there is no continuity there is no point do the works of the English ...
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THIS ONLY APPLIES IN.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE AVE Barcelona-French border?
For marching in full swing:
Ministers of Spain and France and the president of the travel from Figueres-Perpignan Vilafant a high-speed trains
http://www.fomento.es/NR/rdonlyres/85F8395B-E6B0-4039-B4D6- 1B795903D788/98441/11012703.pdf
" Last December 19 the two companies began service linking Barcelona and Paris train combining conventional and wide across international transshipment by Vilafant Figueres. This exploitation of the line is temporarily, until the inauguration of high speed railway Barcelona-Frontera French, scheduled for 2012. "
" The section of the Barcelona-Figueres line Madrid-Barcelona-French border represents an approximate investment of 4,200 million euros, to which are added 337 million euros that the Ministry of Development and Adif have used to install the third lane for the commissioning of the freight corridor between the international width Adif logistics centers and the Port of Barcelona and the French border. "
Interesting ... more than 4,500 million euros spent between Barcelona and Figueres, more money to be paid each year to the dealer Figueres-Perpignan line (ACS et al.) But what about the French side? The press release from the Ministry of Development recently clarified ... see in other sources:
"The new feature is the 44.4 km Figueres to Perpignan linking at high speed. From the French city, travelers recapture the traditional speed up Nimes, where the train back to fly over 300 miles per hour to Paris. " ( http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/14500/viajeros/suben/Barcelona-Paris/cruza/frontera/alta/velocidad/elpepuesp/20110127elpepunac_16/Tes )
words, from Nimes Perpignan until the train runs by agreement. Over 200 km of conventional track.
Sure, it's normal to spend more than 4,500 million euros in the 130 km between Barcelona and Figueres, because the French government is doing the same in the 200 km between Perpignan and Nimes ...
"Until now it was possible to travel from Barcelona to Paris, but the journey was an hour and a quarter. It is expected that in 2012 the high speed one the Catalan capital on the French border. Then the trip to Paris will much faster. Although the French section between Perpignan and Nimes not see high speed until 2020. "
What, to 2020? That means that France is not doing anything in the 200 km between Perpignan and Nimes . And to do nothing, which means he has no plans to do anything in the next 5 years at least. Until 2020 is not expected to start on service rather be 2025 ...
And if France has "parked" this section: Does it make sense now to invest 4,500 million on the English side? sr Well it seems so. IS SUPER PRIORITY FOR MINISTRY BUILDING.
So why not make sense to invest $ 500 million (100 of which are set by the EU) between Vigo and the Portuguese border? For elementary, because it is Catalonia Galicia. Although the EU has established that social and territorial the best project in Spain supported with EU funds was the connection Vigo-Portuguese border. PRIORITY OVER THE CONNECTION Barcelona-French border.
So, I think we will not see the Portuguese Frontera Vigo AVE 2030. Galicians tricked us with studies and projects. But what they say works, do NOT see well into the 20's.
