History
Cuenca has been served by the railroad since 1885, and had a station on the old Aranjuez - Valencia Railway. On 2010 December 19 a new AVE (high-speed rail) link was established on the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail line between Madrid – Atocha station and Cuenca – Fernando Zobel station, but Renfe kept a daily Media Distancia service between Madrid (Aranjuez in the weekend) and Valencia via the old line taking 3 hours to Madrid and another 3 hours to Valencia, until the section between Tarancón and Utiel was closed on 20 July 2022 and left Cuenca without a station within the city centre.[3]
