Overview

• Valladolid’s municipal government, led by Mayor Jesús Julio Carnero, has officially filed a contentious-administrative appeal against the Campo Grande station project.
• The city claims the project, approved by Adif, omits a legally required special urban planning scheme and infringes on municipal planning authority.
• Mayor Carnero emphasizes the appeal is not intended to block the station but to ensure the city’s role in shaping auxiliary urban developments around it.
• Transport Minister Óscar Puente and Socialist leaders have criticized the move, accusing the mayor of attempting to obstruct the project, which is the largest investment in Valladolid’s history.
• The €253 million station is designed to enhance regional rail connectivity, with plans to accommodate over five million passengers annually by 2035.
