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.

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.
