MERINDADES PCAL-BURGOS AND CRITICISM THAT PP PSOE halt the proposal that the AVE rail corridor PALENCIA UNE WITH SANTANDER TO GO FOR BURGOS The Provincial Association in Burgos Castilianist training part of Castile and Leon (PCAL) criticizes the paralysis that PP and PSOE, and the institutions that govern the project which claims that the high-speed rail line (AVE) that the capital of Palencia and Santander, Burgos passes, drawing in part on the line and projected Valladolid Burgos. The Burgos castilianist consider that this amendment should be included in the Strategic Plan for Infrastructures and Transport (PEIT), and demanded, through Commoner Land (TC), today part of PCAL training, the two major parties, PP and PSOE, in January 2008 to consider this measure for extraordinary interest Burgos road infrastructure. With this claim, the PARTY OF CASTILLA AND LEÓN Commoner Land (TC) de Burgos expressed support for the study by several professors of the Department of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Burgos, which shows many advantages of high-speed link-Burgos-Aguilar Palencia-Santander, on the planned Palencia Alar-Santander, when to communicate the north of the peninsula and resolve the communications between Cantabria and the Plateau.
for delivery of Castile and Leon (PCAL-BURGOS), it is surprising that after more than 14 months since the submission of this interesting proposal, neither the provincial officials of the PP (César Rico) and the PSOE (José M ª Jiménez ) or the regional government of Castilla y Leon neither the Ministry of Development of Central Government have placed before this alternative infrastructure, passing time pointlessly necessary to modify the provisions of Railway High-speed communication between the Plateau and Cantabria.
Therefore, the part of Castile and Leon (PCAL-BURGOS), will introduce next week a series of questions in the Parliament of Castilla and León, the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, to know the position of the parliamentary groups of the PP and PSOE and regional and central government about the proposal states that the High Speed \u200b\u200bRail Corridor between Palencia and Santander, passing through Burgos. The
castilianist Burgos point out that the railway line Palencia-Santander current one, marginalizes the province of Burgos, denying direct access to the Cantabrian coast. With high-speed rail line under-Burgos-Aguilar Palencia-Santander, is used as another line segment and projects (Valladolid-Burgos), all that is done is replace the section Palencia, Burgos Aguilar per slice -Aguilar, with a reduction drive to build 20 kilometers. This loss of Burgos strategic location in relation to the design of the new state infrastructure network, is also something already found by the 1 st Economic Situation Bulletin published by Caja Rural Burgos and published this month of February 2009.
With this proposed amendment, the high speed rail-Burgos-Aguilar Palencia-Santander, there is significant cost savings (543 million euros compared to 662 million of the original route planned), no time affects virtually Estimated travel between Palencia and Santander would benefit all the cities of Castile and Leon to Santander (especially Valladolid and Palencia), since the overall frequency of trains to Santander would be greater, and would capture travelers assembly linking Madrid AVE Basque Country. Therefore there would be a line with more demand, more profitable and that would enable more frequent trains.
The proposed high speed rail joined by Palencia-Santander-Burgos-Aguilar, is consistent with the philosophy of the AVE to join large and medium towns, better railway backbone of Castilla y Leon and the entire northern peninsula, all without prejudice to the interests of cities such as Valladolid, Palencia and Aguilar de Campo. The Spaniards are also consistent with statements made by professors of the Department of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Burgos, in the sense that the proposed route has added substantial advantages from the standpoint of geotechnical, topographical or environmental, so from the standpoint of social and technical is the best option.
Finally, parts of Castile and Leon (PCAL-BURGOS) believes that the expectations high speed railway PP (Road Plan) and the PSOE (PEIT) have significantly marginalized Burgos communications with its environment, and especially of Cid capital of Madrid (in Aranda de Duero) and Santander, for all that, they claim to rectify their earlier mistakes, including high-speed rail link between the plateau and Cantabria, Palencia through-Burgos-Aguilar- Santander.
