Ouigo and Iryo ask Adif to lower its fees by 119 million
Operators see room to adjust surcharges in the 2026-2028 tolls regulation, which is in the processing stage.
Rail operators Ouigo and Iryo are seeking adjustments to the charges they pay to use Spain's high-speed rail network, citing a 10% drop in traffic in 2026 due to various factors including an accident in Adamuz, Córdoba, and limitations on the Madrid-Barcelona line. They have commissioned a study by KPMG, which suggests that reductions in charges could lead to a 15% decrease in ticket prices.
The operators are requesting changes to charges on several routes, including Madrid-Málaga, Madrid-Barcelona, and those in the Levante region, such as Valencia and Alicante. Adif, the infrastructure manager, and CNMC, the regulatory body, have proposed different charges, with the operators seeking reductions totaling around €119 million.
