Almería's railway station originally opened in 1893 as the terminus for the line to Madrid. In 2005, the railway and bus station were combined in a new location next to the old station building.
The number of passengers at the station decreased considerably in the 2000s; in 2000 the station was used by 240,344 passengers, but had decreased to 107,409 in 2017.[3] In the 2020s numbers increased considerably.[2]
Services
[edit]Almería is served by Media Distancia trains to Linares Baeza and Granada, along with Intercity services to Madrid Atocha which takes around six hours.[4]
Future
[edit]Almería is the future terminus of the Murcia–Almería high-speed rail line, which will link Almería to Madrid Atocha via Murcia del Carmen, Albacete-Los Llanos and Cuenca–Fernando Zóbel.
