Overview

• Adif’s works at Madrid Atocha seek to increase capacity in the Túnel de Sol and improve Cercanías reliability.
• ABC reports the diversion applies only from August 22 to 24, with Media Distancia services returning to Atocha on Monday, August 25.
• Earlier coverage cited August 22–30 and even a different start date, so travelers should confirm schedules on Renfe’s official channels.
• Long‑distance Alvia services between Extremadura and Madrid continue to stop at Atocha without changes.
• Renfe says its website and ticket machines will display notices and online bookings will flag the segment to be completed on Cercanías.
