RENFE Spanish Railways admits the Madrid Málaga AVE has not met expectations

 
 
The line is not attracting as many leisure travellers as forecast
RENFE Spanish railways have admitted that the AVE high speed service between Madrid and Málaga has not reached the previous expectations of the travellers.
President of Renfe, Teófilo Serrano, suggested that could be it does not connect to the Western Costa del Sol and admitted that perhaps they had not promoted the service enough.
Since opening in December 2007 the line has carried 5.5 million travellers and last year reached 1.5 million users, still below the initial forecasts of 2 million. Most of the users of the line currently are on business, not tourist or leisure travellers.
