Future

Since 20 December 2022 the AVE high-speed rail system is serving Murcia via the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail network[2][3] and construction works are on going for the Murcia–Almería high-speed rail line with extensive modifications for the train station in order platforms and track to be relocated underground.[4][5] In October 2017, protesters against the underground alignment blocked the track leading to the station, leading to multiple train cancellations.[6] The new station is expected to be finished by 2024 at a cost of 11 million euros.[7]
