SPAIN’s Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana has launched an initial light rail service in the resort of Alicante. The 1 km segregated alignment runs from Puerta del Mar via Albufuerta to the FGC station at Marina, from which some LRVs continue over the Denia line as far as Lucentum. Next year should see the start of construction of a Pts20bn line linking the Renfe station through the centre of Alicante to El Campello, offering a journey time of 24 to 28 min. The network may be extended later to serve the University, Babel and Benidorm. n
