Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the President of the Balearics, Marga Prohens, have today agreed to begin work between technicians from both administrations for a new agreement on state investment in railways on the islands, which would include the Palma-Airport-Llucmajor train. This was announced by Prohens at a press conference after meeting with Sánchez in Madrid, as part of the President’s round of meetings with the heads of the Autonomous Communities.

At last proposals to install and upgrade the rail networks. Can the route from Manacor to Arta/ Alcudia be effected as well? Personally delighted to read this positive statement --AT last !! But concern for the amount of money that it is to cost. Plus the construction to take at least 8 years. Probably 10 years. But most of the funding could now be obtained from the increased Tourist Tax revenue.
All new infrastructure improvement projects are to be welcomed. Especially a railway connection between the airport and Palma. However, the sums of money necessary are eye-watering and the last thing the Government needs is a downturn in tourism which is exactly what is happening thanks to the small group of protestors against tourists and their campaign of hate. I'd like to see the idiotic leader of the protest group be sent a bill to make up for the income lost. The damage they have done and are still doing will set Mallorca back decades as a tourist destination.
it is still a long way away from happening and what are they going to do about congestion in the short term.
