Responsible for the Management of UPyD in Cartagena, Pedro Martinez Wirsing, lamented the stroke line chosen for the AVE to communicate the two cities, as it assumes that economic constraints preclude path that the train can exceed 100km / h in some sections.

To Wirsing, the train can not exceed 160 km / h, even in the long straight field Cartagena, is incredible for a project that has studied more than 12 years, and "it is disheartening to be called High Line speed when high has absolutely nothing. "

The line has an area, variant Alquerías off Murcia, where the train takes a curve of radius 500m, similar to that of Santiago de Compostela, which would make the train could not exceed 100km / h.

It has also ensured that the proposal does not respond to an advanced service AVE, despite its cost as it is based on a two-way for travelers to that in parallel, the current route for freight trains will be maintained.

In this sense, Pedro Martinez has stated that it is not understandable that the mayor of Cartagena also waives the burial and remodeling of the current season, opting for a new one in Mandarache, without knowing what will be the ultimate solution in Murcia, where it is expected that the train can reach the center of the city to keep the intermodal bus station Feve, and integrate all of its stations in one place.

In conclusion he said that the path chosen by the east from the Ministry, the cheaper despite having budgeted 400MM € cost, is walking distance Murcia-Cartagena in 25 minutes, "and sell the brand AVE with some services not can get to Cartagena. "

UPyD Cartagena also expected with the arrival of the AVE line commuter is included with a halt in Mandarache that service the Pearl District Area and connect efficiently with Murcia and other commuter lines that will Lorca, Eagles and Alicante, and thus the communication backbone of the city with universities, most important archaeological centers and port.
