High-Speed Rail Gains Traction in Spain


Six million people live between Barcelona and Madrid, a distance of 325 miles. The journey takes 6 hours by car, but now most of those people can take a 186-mph train that reduces journey time to 2 hours and 38 minutes, from city center to city center. The journey is fast, comfortable, and environmentally friendly. The service is transforming travel in Spain, and has implications for the E.U. as well.
