Galicia

• A Coruña is the only Galician port in the core network, but its Langosteira outer harbour —8.46 Mt, at an all-time high— today moves 0% by rail: the rail access (6.7 km, €123.58M, 100% European funds) is under construction and will not be operational until 2027.
• The Galician paradox: Vigo, the largest Galician container port, moves 0.01% by rail, while Marín —the smallest by tonnage of the four— posts Spain's 2nd-highest rail share (13.93%, +18.5% vs 2019, behind only Santander). The difference is access: Marín has a 7-track branch; Vigo's containers never reach the rails.
• And the reward for closing that last mile is the city itself: once Langosteira absorbs the commercial freight, A Coruña reclaims its waterfront. The State, the Xunta, the City Council, ADIF and Puertos del Estado signed the €3.3M agreement for the «Coruña Marítima» Master Plan in December 2025, set to redevelop the inner harbour —from the breakwater to the Oza basin, including the San Diego freight station— once the outer-port railway enters service in 2027.

Eurostat tran_r_rago (NUTS 2), 2020 — latest regional year available (five-yearly series). The figure covers the whole of Castilla y León (ES41), not only the province of León, and measures only the flow captured by rail: the scarcity of tonnes reflects the lack of supply, not of demand.

• Publish the Corridor Master Plan and activate the public–private monitoring committee.
• Lock in a timetable with verifiable milestones and assigned funding for the critical links.
• Speed up the drafting of north-west projects to make them eligible for European funds (CEF).
• Prepare dual-use (military mobility) bids for the corridor under CEF 2028–2034.
• Build a stable business coalition with its own voice in Brussels.
• Full upgrade of line 800 (León–Monforte–Ourense): track, P400 loading gauge, electrification and ERTMS.
• Complete the port accesses and bring the intermodal terminals into operation.
• Migrate progressively to European standard gauge (UIC) and coordinate the ERTMS roll-out with France.
• Commit the €7,884M that the business community estimates to complete the corridor.
• Demand from the EU a firm Spain–France timetable for cross-border ERTMS.
• Reflect the north-west in the European Coordinator's Work Plan and preserve its access to funding.
