Renfe grows in summer with new trains and key routes
30 July, 2025Renfe has launched its most ambitious programme for the summer season, with more than 22.5 million seats available until 15 September on all its AVE, Avlo, Alvia, Euromed, Intercity, Avant, Media Distancia and AVE International trains. The reinforcement responds to the incorporation of new frequencies and units, especially in high speed and long distance, which add up to more than 8.8 million seats, half a million more than in the previous summer.
Among the novelties are more series 106 trains on the Galicia-Madrid and León-Madrid routes. New frequencies have also been added between Badajoz and Madrid, two new AVE services between Madrid and Barcelona and a high-speed service without transfer connecting Andalusia with Aragon and Catalonia.
In addition, the most popular routes from Madrid to the north, Andalusia, Valencia and Catalonia have been reinforced with more than 131,000 seats.

In a context of growing competition, the company stands out for its punctuality (88%) and for leading the world in terms of fewer cancellations, consolidating its leadership in the rail market.
